	Commentary	"Aurora issued forth, giving joy to the earth, but grief to Sancho Panza, who, when he missed his ass,...". At dawn in Sierra Morena, Sancho discovers that his donkey has been stolen. Good and expressive figures; notice don Quixote's gesture too. 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 - "... composiciones de un aspecto nuevo, en fondos abruptos, generalmente sitios en que la luz apenas llega, dorando, en cambio, los picos de las montañas" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVII).
