	Commentary	"... they found lying in a ravine, dead and half devoured by dogs and pecked by crows, a mule...". In Sierra Morena, don Quixote and Sancho find a dead mule (Cardenio's). Very remarkable illustration, with good composition and good figures; notice the natural gestures of both characters. 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).
