	Commentary	"The master himself was nigh fifty years of age". Alonso Quijano hunting accompanied by a pair of greyhounds. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters, landscape and accurate period clothes and details (shotgun); realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow.
	Notes	1 - The original drawing (Chinese ink and gouache white) was finished in 1898 in Sevilla and presented at the Exposition of Fine Arts of Barcelona (1898). 2 - "Todavía nos presenta al hidalgo en sus cabales, pero taciturno, cuando, gran madrugador y amigo de la caza, camina á campo traviesa, con sus arreos y sus lebreles, tratado todo ello con fina factura" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXX).
