| Commentary | "... and grasping his sword faster in both hand, struck with such fury at the Biscayner...".
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, raises his word to hit the Biscayan, who protects himself with a cushion. Remarkable group. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects. |
| Notes | 1 – Reproduction of the original sketch (Chinese ink and gouache white). Jiménez Aranda meant to paint a more-finished drawing after this sketch using natural sceneries and real models, but he died before completing the project. |
