"Don Quixote in his Study" - from a painting by Schrödter, 1860. 'M.

One [his] most famous pictures in the Royal Collection at Berlin is that of "Don Quixote in his Study"...In the attitude and expression of the knight of the woful [sic] countenance, in the intentness with which he devours the visionary lore in the old tome which he holds open before him, we discern much of that peculiar tendency to mystic and suggestive treatment which we find in Albert Durer, and which, not unnaturally, is still indulged in by his successors in the same school.

From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
