"Sancho at the Feast Starved by his Physician" is an engraving by the renowned English artist William Hogarth, created as part of a series of illustrations for a deluxe edition of Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel "Don Quixote." Hogarth, known for his satirical and social commentary, produced a number of works inspired by literature, and his interpretation of scenes from "Don Quixote" brought a unique perspective to the novel's rich tapestry of characters and themes.

The scene depicted in "Sancho at the Feast Starved by his Physician" is drawn from the second part of "Don Quixote," where Sancho Panza, having become the governor of an insula, is subjected to a practical joke in which a doctor, using a wand, dictates what Sancho can and cannot eat at a banquet. The doctor's intervention leaves Sancho starving amidst plenty, a situation that Hogarth captures with his characteristic blend of humor and social critique.

In this work, Hogarth's sharp eye for detail and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual means are evident. The engraving is rich with the expressions of the characters, the opulence of the feast, and the absurdity of the situation. The artwork serves not only as an illustration of Cervantes's text but also as a standalone piece that comments on the excesses and follies of Hogarth's own society.

"Sancho at the Feast Starved by his Physician" is an example of Hogarth's skill in translating literary scenes to visual art, and it remains an important work for both its artistic merit and its place within the broader context of 18th-century European art and literature. As with many of Hogarth's engravings, this piece is valued for its narrative richness, its social commentary, and its place in the history of book illustration.
