| Commentary | "... than to wander about these wastes after that shepherdess Marcela...".
Grisóstomo, dressed as a shepherd, following the shepherdess Marcela, in love with her; notice their gestures and expressions. Remarkable composition. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; notice the flock of goats; realistic and picturesque. 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. |
