Commentary | "When Sancho heard him call the basin a head-piece he was unable to restrain his laughter, but remembering...".
While don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, puts the barber basin on his head (Mambrino's helmet), Sancho tries to restrain his laughter. Remarkable figures. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects: notice the landscape, the wet ground.... |
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). |
