Commentary "The wench, seeing that the master was coming and knowing that his temper was terrible, frightened and...".
When the innkeeper Juan Palomeque enters into don Quixote's room, he discovers a muleteer trampling don Quixote on his bed; Maritornes, frightened, hides herself beside Sancho, who remains sleeping.
Scene resolved with good narrative composition.
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 - "... dibujos llenos de gracia y de expresión. [...] el sentimiento con que están tratadas las formas vacunas de la maritornes; los vivos rasgos con que están pintadas las escaramuzas y pendencias, prestan mayor interés á estos dibujos" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLV).
