Return To La Mancha (l.e. Lladro Figurine

The profoundly disheartened expression worn by Don Quixote, the Knight of the Sad Countenance, is really exceptionally moving in this portrayal. His failures, disasters and defeats are written across his face, in his dishevelled garb, and even in the sad, surrendered angle of his hand. His faithful squire, Sancho Panza, joins his master on the homeward trail, absorbed in his own thoughts. The whole scene, created by Lladró artists faithful to Cervantes' classic text, conveys a genuinely melancholic feeling.
