Commentary | "... for once in my life I was beadle of a brotherhood and the beadle's gown sat so well on me...".
Three of the scenes described by Sancho to don Quixote: Sancho imagines himself dressed as a Count; Sancho dressed as a count and followed by his personal barber; and a gentleman on horseback followed by his personal equerry on horseback too (a scene that Sancho remembers and that he wants to imitate with his own barber). Remarkable scene with well-resolved and carefully-done narrative composition. Good variety of figures and gestures. 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. |
