Commentary "It is a balsam, answered Don Quixote, of which I have the receipt by heart,".
Series of imaginary scenes about the dialogue between don Quixote and Sancho about Fierabrás' balsam: don Quixote showing a vial with the balsam to Sancho; don Quixote cut in two pieces by another knight; Sancho placing don Quixote's upper half body on his lower part; Sancho giving don Quixote to drink Fierabrás' balsam; and don Quixote's wounds healed.
Very remarkable narrative and imaginative composition.
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.
