Scene from Cervantes' 'Don Quixote' (Part II, Chapter 31) is a 1804 oil by Thomas Stothard, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a lively scene with people gathered in a room, possibly a ballroom. The room is dimly lit, with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, casting a warm glow. In the center, a man in a yellow jacket and blue pants appears to be dancing with a woman in a white dress. To the left, another couple is dancing, while a man in a red jacket and blue pants stands behind them. In the background, more people are visible, some of whom seem to be watching the dancers. The atmosphere is one of joy and celebration. Look up the artist Thomas Stothard next.
Thomas Stothard (17 August 1755 – 27 April 1834) was a British painter, illustrator and engraver.
