| Commentary | "There came another almond which struck him on the hand and on the flask so fairly that it smashed it to pieces,...".
During the adventure of the flock of sheep, another stone hits don Quixote while drinking Fierabrás' balsam, breaking his flask. Scene resolve with remarkable naturalism; notice also the figure of Rocinante with head bowed. 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. |
