| Commentary | "... stood leaning over his ass with his hand to his cheek.... «Bear in mind, Sancho, that...»".
Sancho angry/sad and thoughtful leant over his donkey while don Quixote approaches from the background with Rocinante. Masterly image of both characters, specially Sancho. 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 - "... y debe contarse entre las mejores figuras la de Sancho puesto de pechos sobre su asno..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVI). |
