"Don Quixote and Sancho Pansa"

Let's go back for a while to the story of Don Quixote, the story which is both philosophical and comical. This time I decided to approach the subject with a sense of humour and show our dear knight with his faithful squire, Sancho Pansa, using very simple means. While painting it I was literally laughing inside at his idea of tilting at windmills what is the most iconic scene of the book and also at the contrast between these two characters invented by Cervantes so cleverly.
