Commentary | "... to go in to Pedro's hut to sleep. He did so,...".
The goatherd Pedro invites don Quixote to sleep into his hut. Remarkable illustration; the scene is represented from the inside of the hut. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes and details; 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. |
