A Scene from Don Quixote is a 1850 watercolor by John Masey Wright, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows four people in a dimly lit room. A woman in a white cap stands at a table, gesturing toward a man kneeling beside her. Another woman in a light dress watches from the side, while an older man in a hat sits at the table, eating. The room has a fireplace, a mirror, and a window with blue curtains. The woman’s raised hand and the kneeling man’s surprised face suggest a lively argument. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with loose brushstrokes and soft colors.
