Commentary | "And once more he fel asleep...".
The priest, barber, niece and housekeeper leave don Quixote sleeping in his bed. The figures have been resolved with remarkable naturalism: the housekeeper closing the window, the niece carrying a tray, the priest and the barber talking... 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 1900 in Sevilla and presented at the Universal Exposition of Paris (1900). |
