Commentary | "«Halt, knights, whosoever ye may be, and render me account of who ye are, whence ye comme, whither ye are going,...»".
Don Quixote orders a group of ecclesiastics (encamisados) to stop and tell him who they are. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable night representation with the contrast of the lighted tapers. |
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. |
