| Commentary | "... so that he held his master's left thigh in his embrace...".
At night in a forest, Sancho, scared by a strong noise, embraces don Quixote's left thigh; the knight remains mounted on Rocinante. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; the illustration, 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. |
