Bernard Buffet — Don Quixote avec chapeau (Don Quixote with Hat); and Don Quixote et la Duena (Don Quixote and the Duena), from Don Quixote
Bernard Buffet

Don Quixote avec chapeau (Don Quixote with Hat); and Don Quixote et la Duena (Don Quixote and the Duena), from Don Quixote

Bernard Buffet's striking lithographs depict the iconic literary figure of Don Quixote, rendered in the artist's characteristically bold, angular lines and stark palette. The two works, *Don Quixote avec chapeau* and *Don Quixote et la Duena*, are rare hors commerce impressions published by the prestigious Editions Mourlot in Paris, existing outside the standard edition of 200. Buffet's expressive graphic style brings a haunting, melancholic energy to Cervantes' legendary characters, reflecting the artist's signature aesthetic of elongated forms and stark contrast.

Medium
Both signed and annotated 'H.C.' in pencil (an hors commerce, aside from the edition of 200), published by Editions Mourlot, Paris, both unframed.
