Don Quixote drinking Fierabrás' balsam during the adventure of the flock of sheep; in the background, one of the shepherds throwing him a stone with his sling. Remarkable figure of don Quixote, resolved with good naturalism. 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. |
