Commentary | "... and such compassion did Sancho feel for him that he took out a real of four from his bossom and gave it to him in alms".
After listening to the story of one of the slaves, an old bearded and weeping man, Sancho gives him a real of four; don Quixote observes him. Very original illustration. Remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes. 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.
2 - "... dibujos tratados de un modo muy original y moderno, que produce mucho relieve en las figuras y singular efecto en los conjuntos" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVII). |
