Commentary | "... and, taking the linen out of the portmanteau, he put it in the provender-bag".
In Sierra Morena, while Sancho finishes ransacking the portmanteau, don Quixote, still mounted on Rocinante, reads the book found in it (Cardenio's). Remarkable figures, with good gestures. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects; notice the landscape. |
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). |
