Commentary | "... being employed in ransaking a sumpter-mule, which those pious men had brought with them...".
In the foreground, Sancho ransacking the ecclesiastics' sumpter mule. In the background, don Quixote and Alonso López, fallen on the ground with his mule. Remarkable figures. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow. |
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. |
