Commentary | "... lost his temper, and raising the lamp full of oil, smote Don Quixote such a blow with it on the head,...".
The officer of justice raising his oil lamp to throw it against don Quixote; Sancho observes them. Remarkable figures with good gestures and expressions. 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. |
