	Commentary	"... and no sooner had he touched the ground than he sprang up more nimbly than a deer and speed away...". After having been attacked by don Quixote, the barber runs away, leaving his basin (Mambrino's helmet) fallen on the ground; in the background, Sancho observing the scene. Remarkable figures; well-resolved action and composition. 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).
