| Commentary | "... and putting spurs to Rocinante and bringing his pike to the slope he rode out of the inn before...".
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, leaves the inn without paying the lodge to the innkeeper, leaving Sancho behind. 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. |
