Commentary | "... so they went on all together".
Don Quixote, Vivaldo, other gentleman, Sancho, the goatherds, Ambrosio and some shepherds, all together, head towards Grisóstomo's burial. Remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period 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. |
