	Commentary	"Expecting that some dwarf would appear on the battlements...". A dwarf blowing a horn and some soldiers among the merlons (battlements) of a castle as imagined by don Quixote. The scene, although it is an imaginary one, has been resolved with realism and detail; accurate period setting, clothes and details. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly.
	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 - "Pero en el jinete puede más el hambre que la fantasía con que alimenta su perturbado cerebro, y que le hace esperar que por entre las almenas del castillo asomen los soldados y el enano que le salude con su trompeta, escena ideal que nos representa la lámina 10" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIV).
