Don Quixote de la Mancha is a 1855 ink by Célestin Nanteuil, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man on horseback holding a sword. He wears old-fashioned armor and a wide-brimmed hat. Behind him, a wall has small pictures of people working and fighting. The horse looks strong, with a detailed head and armor too. The title at the bottom says *Don Quixote de la Mancha*, which is a famous storybook character. The artist used shading to make the armor and horse look real and textured. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
