| Commentary | "Day was dawning when Don Quixote quitted the inn...".
At dawn, don Quixote leaves the inn mounted on Rocinante; the innkeeper, the party girls, a young grrom and some muleteers observe him leaving. Remarkable image of don Quixote on Rocinante. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes and landscape; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light. |
| 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). |
