	Commentary	"Endeavoured to make him rise,...". The innkeeper tries to prevent don Quixote from standing knelt before him at the inn stable. Third of four illustrations about the same scene; almost as photograms. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes and details; 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 1899 in Sevilla and presented at the National Exposition of Madrid (1899). 2 - "Prosigue en el capítulo III lo de la venta, desarrollando en tres dibujos la escena con el ventero, con quien Don Quijote se encierra en la caballeriza para rogarle le arme caballero. El asombro del ventero, la actitud del caballero puesto de hinojos, y su gratitud cuando aquél le promete complacerle, son rasgos felices" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXV).
