	Commentary	"... that this which comes opposite to us is conducted and led by the mighty emperor...". In the lower half of the illustration (foreground), the reality: Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, describes each army (flock of sheep) to Sancho. In the upper half of the illustration (background), the figures imagined by don Quixote: the emperor Alifanfarón (left) and the king Pentapolín of the Bare Arm with his daughter (right). Very remarkable illustration; notice the contrast between the real figures (well-drawn and detailed) and the imagined ones (sketched). 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.
