| Commentary | "... that on leaving, the old villain said in a loud voice,...".
The enchanter Muñatón/Fristón riding a snake and leaving don Quixote's house through the roof (as described by the niece). Remarkable image; good contrast between this illustration, full of fantasy, and the main realistic/picturesque style of the other illustrations in the edition. 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). |
