"''Don Quixote and Sancho Panza Riding Clavileño''" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Zacarías González Velázquez, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. The artwork depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes' celebrated novel, "Don Quixote," in which the protagonist, Don Quixote, and his squire, Sancho Panza, are astride the wooden horse Clavileño. This episode is one of the many adventures that the delusional knight-errant and his loyal companion experience during their quests across the Spanish countryside.

Zacarías González Velázquez, born in Madrid in 1763 and deceased in 1834, was a notable figure in the Spanish art scene, serving as a court painter and later as the director of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. His work is characterized by the neoclassical style that was prevalent in Europe at the time, and he is known for his historical and mythological scenes, as well as his portraits of the Spanish royalty and nobility.

The painting captures the moment when Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, having been tricked by a group of nobles into believing that the wooden horse can fly, are blindfolded and set upon the contraption. The nobles then manipulate the scene to make the pair believe they are soaring through the heavens on a magical journey. González Velázquez's interpretation of this comical and satirical episode showcases his skill in rendering both the human figure and the expression of emotion, as well as his ability to convey the humor and social critique inherent in Cervantes' literary masterpiece.

"''Don Quixote and Sancho Panza Riding Clavileño''" is a significant work within the context of Spanish art history, as it reflects the cultural importance of "Don Quixote" as a national literary treasure and the influence of Cervantes' work on the visual arts. The painting is also an example of the continued relevance of classical literature as a source of inspiration for artists beyond the literary realm. While the current location or ownership of the painting is not specified, it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Zacarías González Velázquez and a testament to the enduring legacy of "Don Quixote" in the world of art.
