"Sancho and the Duchess" is a notable painting by the 19th-century British-American artist Charles Robert Leslie. Created in 1844, this work is an exemplary representation of Leslie's skill in capturing literary themes and translating them into visual art. The painting draws its subject matter from Miguel de Cervantes' celebrated novel "Don Quixote," specifically focusing on the humorous and endearing character Sancho Panza and his interactions with the Duchess.

Leslie's "Sancho and the Duchess" is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the nuances of Cervantes' characters. The artist's adept use of color, light, and composition brings to life the whimsical and satirical essence of the novel. Sancho Panza, the loyal squire to the delusional knight Don Quixote, is depicted with a blend of humor and empathy, highlighting his rustic charm and straightforward nature. The Duchess, on the other hand, is portrayed with an air of elegance and subtle irony, reflecting her role in the novel as a noblewoman who enjoys playing along with Don Quixote's fantasies.

Leslie's background as a painter of literary subjects is evident in this work. He was known for his ability to interpret and visualize scenes from literature, and "Sancho and the Duchess" stands as a testament to his talent in this genre. The painting not only captures a specific moment from "Don Quixote" but also encapsulates the broader themes of the novel, such as the interplay between reality and illusion, and the enduring appeal of its characters.

"Sancho and the Duchess" has been appreciated for its narrative quality and its contribution to the visual arts' engagement with literary classics. It remains a significant piece within Leslie's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and interpretative merits.
