"Sancho Panza and the Duchess" is a painting by Charles Robert Leslie, an English artist of American parentage who primarily based his works on the depiction of literary figures and scenes. The canvas, painted in 1843, interprets a narrative from Miguel de Cervantes' novel, "Don Quixote."

The painting Sancho Panza, a farmer turned faithful squire, in the company of the Duchess, a noblewoman who finds amusement in manipulating the beliefs of Sancho Panza and his master, Don Quixote. The scene emanates from the second part of the novel, in which the Duchess and her husband, the Duke, have invited Don Quixote and Sancho Panza to their palace for entertainment and sport. The painting plays on the irony intrinsic to Cervantes' vast comedy – here depicted by the contrast between Sancho's earnestness and the elegance of the Duchess, who represents the very illusion that Sancho and Don Quixote obsessively pursue, elevating the common to the level of the nobly chivalrous.

Leslie's characteristic bright palette and visually detailed realism make the scene come alive, capturing subtle moments from Cervantes' profound narrative. He focuses on the expressions and gestures of the characters to highlight their relationships and the underlying satire of the novel.

"Sancho Panza and the Duchess" by Charles Robert Leslie is acknowledged as a beautiful exemplification of nineteenth-century art where literature and painting intersect, revealing both the comic humanism of Cervantes' work and Leslie's facility in transposing this literary masterpiece onto the canvas.
