"Don Quixote Reading" is a painting by the French artist Honoré Daumier, known for his satirical works and keen observation of social and political life in 19th-century France. Daumier, who lived from 1808 to 1879, was a prolific artist, producing thousands of drawings, lithographs, paintings, and sculptures. This particular painting depicts the iconic literary character Don Quixote, the protagonist of Miguel de Cervantes' celebrated novel "Don Quixote," first published in the early 17th century.

In Daumier's rendition, Don Quixote is portrayed in a moment of introspection, deeply engrossed in a book. The painting captures the essence of the character's idealism and his quest for chivalric values in a world that often appears indifferent or even hostile to such ideals. Daumier's use of muted colors and expressive brushwork highlights the contemplative nature of the scene, emphasizing the contrast between Quixote's inner world and the reality around him.

Daumier's interest in Don Quixote can be seen as a reflection of his own views on society and the human condition. Much like Quixote, Daumier was often critical of the social and political structures of his time, using his art to comment on the absurdities and injustices he observed. The painting is part of a series of works by Daumier that explore the themes and characters of Cervantes' novel, showcasing his ability to blend humor with poignant social commentary.

"Don Quixote Reading" is housed in various collections, with versions and studies found in museums around the world. Daumier's interpretation of Don Quixote remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Cervantes' creation and the universal themes of idealism, reality, and the pursuit of one's dreams. Through this work, Daumier invites viewers to reflect on the nature of heroism and the power of imagination.
