Commentary | "Here came a sugar-plum from the brook that struck him on the side and buried a couple of ribs in his body".
While attacking the flock of sheep, don Quixote is hit by one of the stones thrown by the shepherds. Remarkable representation of movement, violence, dust... 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). |
