	Commentary	"Shortly afterwards Don Quixote perceived a man on horseback, who wore on his head something that shone like gold...". Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, and Sancho, on foot and taking his donkey by the halter, spy a person on horseback (the barber with the basin on his head; Mambrino's helmet). Good diagonal composition to suggest the depth of the scene. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects; notice the landscape and the rain.
	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. 2 - "... en un paisaje que ejecutó con mucho acento pictórico, haciendo resaltar el vivo efecto del suelo mojado" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVII).
