Zoraida, Discovered by Her Father, Agimorato, in the Arms of Rui Pérez de Viedma (from Cervantes' 'Don Quixote', Part I, Chapter 14) is a 1804 oil by Thomas Stothard, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene with three figures. A man in a red hat and dark attire stands beside a woman in a white dress, who is being pulled away by an older man in a red robe. The background features a mix of trees and what appears to be a building or tent. A quiet visual detail is the contrast between the woman's white dress and the darker tones of the men's clothing, which adds to the sense of tension in the scene.
