Don Quixote and the Lion is a 1850 by Charles Robert Leslie, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a man in old-fashioned armor fighting a lion that’s tied to a stone pillar. The fighter holds a sword and shield, while the lion looks fierce but calm. Behind them, a building with a small window and a barrel sit in a rough landscape. The artist used quick, loose lines to show action and movement without too much detail. The lion’s chain is wrapped tight around the pillar, making it look trapped. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
