Dijolé D. Quijote: sancho amigo, la noche se nos va entrando... is a 1855 ink by Célestin Nanteuil, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two men riding a donkey along a winding path through a hilly, rocky landscape. The sky glows with a soft sunset, and the scene looks quiet and lonely. One man holds a long stick, while the other sits behind him. The text below is Spanish and seems to be a quote, adding a story-like feel to the scene. If you like this style, look into lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
Célestin-François Nanteuil-Lebœuf, known as Célestin Nanteuil (French pronunciation: ; 11 July 1813 – 6 September 1873), was a French painter, engraver and illustrator closely tied to the Romantic movement in France.
