Commentary | "Who had been several years at the University of Salamanca,".
Different scenes about Grisóstomo's life as told by the goatherd Pedro to don Quixote: Grisóstomo with other students at the University of Salamanca; Grisóstomo returns to his village; Grisóstomo recommending where and when to sow. Illustration with remarkable composition (specially the main scene) and imaginative. 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. |
