Commentary | "... and without being felt, tied both Rocinante's fore-legs...".
At night in a forest, Sancho, scared by a strong noise (fulling mills) ties Rocinante's legs to prevent don Quixote from beginning a new adventure. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; the scene, resolved in almost complete darkness, is worth noting. |
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. |
