Commentary | "... and he seemed as if he was just falling from his mule, which doubtless he must have done...".
Hit by don Quixote, the Biscayan almost falls from his mule. In the background, other squires/gentlemen observing the scene. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic. 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. |
