At night in a forest, after hearing a strong noise, don Quixote, talking to Sancho, gets ready to begin a new adventure.
Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; the scene, resolved almost in complete darkness, is worth noting.

At night in a forest, after hearing a strong noise, don Quixote, talking to Sancho, gets ready to begin a new adventure. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; the scene, resolved almost in complete darkness, is worth noting. |
