	Commentary	"Meanwhile Don Quixote worked upon a farm labourer, a neighbour of his,...". Don Quixote asks Sancho Panza to be his squire for his second sally. Remarkable gestures and expressions in both figures; Sancho's figure, although his face remains almost in shade, is excellent. 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). 2 - "La lámina oncena, que viene á seguida, es interesante porque en ella, frente á Don Quijote, que está sentado en un sillón, aparece, por primera vez en la obra, Sancho Panza, el cual escucha estupefacto y marrullero las proposiciones de aquél. Destacan ambas figuras en silueta por estar junto á una ventana" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XL-XLI).
