	Commentary	"... and there, putting Sancho in the middle of the blanket, they began to make sport with him as they would with a dog at Shrovetide...". Sancho's blanketing at Juan Palomeque's inn; well-known scene. Very remarkable variety of detailed figures, expressions and 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. 2 - "Por el valor pictórico, son notables los dibujos en que seguimos punto por punto el manteamiento de Sancho en el corral de la venta por la caterva de huéspedes maleantes, y los afanes de Don Quijote, que lo presencia desde fuera y le consuela con enseñarle la alcuza del bálsamo de Fierabrás" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLV).
