Commentary | "The commissary lifted his staff to strike Pasamonte... but Don Quixote came between them, and begged him...".
Remarkable variety of figures and gestures. 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). |
