About the Item

Spanish Talavera earthenware plate. This ceramic plate features a detailed scene inspired by Miguel de Cervantes' iconic literary work "Don Quixote de la Mancha." In the center of the composition, the figures of Don Quixote stand out, mounted on his thin horse, Rocinante, and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, on a robust donkey. The scene depicts a moment of adventure, with Don Quixote in a proud posture, holding a spear and wearing his characteristic armor, while Sancho, with a serene expression, accompanies him. In the background, you can see a landscape, gentle mountains, a windmill — a clear reference to the famous passage of the "giant windmills" — and detailed painted trees. The deep blue rim of the plate creates an elegant contrast with the polychrome decoration.
