About Artwork: (after 1864) "This work, one of many versions of the subject painted by Daumier, illustrates a passage from Don Quixote, the epic Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616). The elderly knight, accompanied by his squire, Sancho Panza, encounters the body of a dead mule, emaciated after long exposure to the elements in a wild landscape. The encounter is one in a series exposing the breadth of human folly, a theme linking Cervantes’s fictional characters with the panoply of modern types who populate much of Daumier’s art." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
