| Commentary | "He came up to the inn, and finding it shut,...".
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, knocking the inn door with his lance. 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 - "Muy hermoso, caliente de color, pues parece tenerle, tal es su riqueza de tono, vemos el dibujo de Don Quijote ante la puerta cerrada de la venta, por donde quisiera socorrer á Sancho" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLV). |
