| Commentary | "Don Quixote now rose, and putting his left hand to his mouth to keep...".
Don Quixote, covering his mouth with his left hand and taking Rocinante by its reins, goes in search of Sancho, leant over his donkey. Accurate representation of Cervantes' text. 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. |
