| Commentary | "... the inn-keeper's daughter was likewise observing him, and he too never took his eyes off her,...".
Don Quixote mounted on Rocinante and Sancho on his donkey leaving Juan Palomeque's inn; several guests observe them, among them, the innkeeper's daughter; notice the remarkable and detailed variety of figures, gestures and expressions. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting 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. |
