| Commentary | "This done, they broke their fast on the remains of the spoils of war plundered from the sumpter mule...".
Don Quixote and Sancho getting ready to have breakfast after the adventure with the barber (Mambrino's helmet); beside them, Rocinante and Sancho's donkey. Scene resolved with good naturalism; notice the figures' gestures and expressions (dialogue). Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects; notice the landscape. |
| 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. |
