A lean knight tilts his lance skyward toward a sun while mounted on a skeletal horse, accompanied by a rotund squire holding a staff, all rendered in bold black linework against a cream ground. The composition captures the spirit of Cervantes' literary hero through Picasso's characteristic spare, gestural style, with expressive silhouettes that convey movement and quixotic determination despite the figures' angular, almost comedic proportions. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
