	Commentary	"... we could perceive plainly that a fit of madness of some king had come upon him;". Three different scenes told by the goatherd to don Quixote and Sancho about Cardenio's story in Sierra Morena: the shepherds talking with Cardenio, who suddenly stays with his eyes fixed on the ground; Cardenio attacks one of the shepherds, help by the others; and Cardenio runs away again into Sierra Morena. Original and good narrative composition. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. 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).
