| Commentary | "Oh, how our good gentleman enjoyed the delivery of his speech,...".
Don Quixote, self-satisfied, finishes his speech about the giant Caraculiambro. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes and furniture; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow; don Quixote's expression is worth noting too. |
| 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). |
