	Commentary	"... at the gate of the inn, he called to the host and said in a very grave and measured voice: «Many and....»". Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante and followed by Sancho on his donkey, thanks the innkeeper/landlord for the lodge at the inn/castle. Figures with remarkable gestures. 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.
