Finally, in pictures such as this one, Don Quixote is the only figure left. Scholars say that this was not because Daumier disregarded Sancho Panza's personality, but rather that he had merged the two into one character. Scholars say that in this way he managed to merge the two facets of his personality: the sarcastic cartoonist and the sensitive painter.
Of course, the images became less detailed over time due to the increasing failure of Daumier's sight. This painting is one of the latter in Daumier's series on Don Quixote.
