Commentary | "The one pulled up his ass by the halter, the other his hack by the bridle...".
Don Quixote and Sancho stop when they see some lights approaching (a procession of ecclesiastics holding torches). Sancho's figure and gesture is specially remarkable; resolved with great naturalism. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable night representation with the contrast of the lighted torches. |
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. |
