Commentary | "Such was the force of the first blow and of the second, that the poor knight is spite of himself came down backwards off his horse".
Stoned by the shepherds of the flock of sheep, don Quixote finally falls from Rocinante on the ground. Figures resolved with good gestures (shepherds) and movement (don Quixote falling). 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. |
