| Commentary | "He discovered a company pf people".
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante in the foreground, discovers a group of silk merchants from Toledo; accurate to Cervantes' text, they travel on mules and holding parasols. Great interest in representing real Spanish and accurate 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). |
