Cervantes in the prison

oil on canvas 150 x 170 cm (60 x 68 in.) 1989

 Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) is a famous Spanish writer, the author of my favourite book «Don Quixote». Through a prism of the vision the artist shows the moment from life of Cervantes in  prison where the first lines of the most ingenious «Don Quixote» was arise. Colour of a picture is sustained in gloomy tones that corresponds to its plan. Accent has been done on the person and hands of the writer.
