Commentary ".... that in a village of Extremadura there was a goat-shepherd...".
Different scenes from Torralba's tale as told by Sancho to don Quixote: the goatherd Lope Ruiz in love with Torralba; the goatherd gets angry with Torralba; the goatherd heading towards Portugal followed by Torralba (with a walking stich and her saddle bag, accurate to Cervantes' text); and the goartherd asking a fisherman to help him to cross the river Guadiana.
Original illustration, with well-resolved and narrative composition.
Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic and picturesque.
Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects. 
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.
