| Commentary | "... and the gate of the inn being thrown open he passed out very well pleased at having paid nothing...".
Sancho, mounted on his donkey, leaves the inn after having been blanketed by the inn guests(some appear waving). Very original composition. 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. |
