Rest in the Country (Sancho Panza) is a 1844 watercolor by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.

He is surrounded by a serene landscape, with gentle hills and a soft, blue sky in the background.

The loose brushstrokes and muted colors evoke a sense of calm, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect.
