Commentary | "The shepherds and drovers accompanying the flock shouted to him to desist;".
Don Quixote continues attacking the flock of sheep despite the shouts of the shepherds; in the background, also Sancho waving his arms to stop don Quixote. The figures of the shepherds in the foreground are specially remarkable. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters; 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.
