	Commentary	"... he dashed into the midst of the squadron of ewes, and began...". Don Quixote on Rocinante attacking the flock of sheep; in the background, some shepherds waving; the scene has been resolved with crude realism (notice the dead animals). The movement and violence of the scene are masterly. 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 - "Son vigorosos los dibujos en que vemos á Don Quijote acometiendo á las ovejas..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVI).
