	Commentary	"The shepherds came up, and felt sure they had killed him; so in all haste...". The shepherds observe don Quixote lying on the ground and, believing he is dead, they decide to leave. Notice the expressions and gestures of the figures, quite narrative; also some crude details as the dead sheep held by the shepherds. 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. 2 - "Compuesto con esmero está el cuadro en que los apedreadores dejan á Don Quijote por muerto, y arrastran un cordero que lo está" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVI).
