Mid-Century Modern Expressionist Lithograph of Don Quixote

This is a matted and framed color lithograph or serigraph on paper, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The artwork features an expressionistic, semi-abstracted Depiction of a figure on horseback, bearing the iconic silhouette of Don Quixote, accompanied by a smaller figure on a donkey (Sancho Panza) and a stylized windmill. The color palette is vibrant and saturated, utilizing deep pinks and magentas for the sky, an orb-like yellow sun, and dark purples for the central figures. The printing process shows visible layering of inks with textured, painterly edges typical of lithography. The work is housed in a dark wood frame with a gold-tone inner fillet and a textured light green or gold mat. At the bottom edge of the paper, there are pencil inscriptions: the left side appears to say 'Epreuve d'artiste' (Artist Proof) and the right side features an illegible cursive signature. The condition shows minor signs of aging, including slight undulation of the paper within the frame and some wear to the wooden frame edges. The style suggests European or American Modernism, reminiscent of post-war graphic arts that combined literary themes with bold, abstract forms.
