Period: 1850-1900;

Description: Riding across Sierra Morena, Don Quixote sees a man (Cardenio) leaping from crag to crag and bush to bush with uncommon speed. The man appears to be half-dressed and has a heavy black beard, long disheveled hair, no shoes on his feet, and breeches. Don Quixote imagines that the man is the owner of the saddle cushion they found and he resolves to look for him until he finds him. Doré has represented the scene as if Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are seeing an apparition. Signed by G. Doré (illustrator) and H.-J. Pisan (engraver). Part 1, ch. 23.
