"Don Quichotte". (dedicated: Pour mon ami Edward Quinn, 8.9.60). La Californie, Cannes 1960

Pablo Picasso’s stylized sketch *Don Quichotte* (1955) depicts the gaunt literary knight on his skeletal horse Rocinante, lance in hand, with his portly squire Sancho Panza. Rendered with bold lines and colorful accents, the scene includes a bright sun and distant windmills. At his Cannes villa, La Californie, on September 8, 1960, Picasso added a personal dedication in red ink for the photographer: "Pour mon ami Edward Quinn."
