Commentary | "And acting on the word he fell upon him so suddenly,...".
Don Quixote attacks one of the soldiers of the galley slaves; Sancho observes him astonished. Remarkable figures, with good gestures and expressions. 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). |
