	Commentary	"In that period of innocence, all things were in common... Then did the simple and beauteous...". Bucolic scene and idyllic landscape relative to don Quixote's speech about the Golden Age; flowers, acorns, bees, flock of sheep, beautiful shepherdesses, crystal-clear water streams, trees with fruits... Imaginative and original illustration. 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 famoso discurso de la edad de oro da lugar á una hermosa alegoría de los pastores de la Arcadia y del gallardo Dafnis" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIII-XLIV).
