| Commentary | "The goatherd descended, and reaching the place where Don Quixote stood, he said".
In Sierra Morena, encounter of don Quixote and Sancho with the goatherd. Good figures; notice don Quixote's gesture. 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). |
