Commentary | "If that be the case, said Sancho, I renounce from henceforward the government of the promised island,".
Dialogue between don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, and Sancho, on his donkey, in a forest; Sancho renounces to the government of his island in exchange fot the recipe of Firabrás' balsam. Scene of dialogue with good gestures; notice Sancho's figure. 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.
2 - "El bosque es en esta serie un tema tratado con una tendencia pictórica muy hermosa..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIII). |
