	Commentary	"... he collected them round him,,, and addressed them as follows: «Is the part of persons of good birth...". Don Quixote, surrounded by the galley slaves, asks them to go to El Toboso taking their chains and to prostrate themselves before Dulcinea. Remarkable variety of figures, with good gestures and expressions. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details. 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).
