	Commentary	"... he asked his housekeeper whereabout was the room that held his books". Don Quixote asks the housekeeper about his library; also in the scene the niece and the greyhound; notice their expressions and gestures. 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.
	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).
