	Commentary	"... advanced to embraced him, and held him for some time close in his arms,...". In Sierra Morena, don Quixote embracing Cardenio; Sancho and the goatherd observe the scene. Figures with good gestures. 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 [...] Hay un dibujo lleno de expresión: es el que representa á Don Quijote abrazando á Cardenio, Sancho saludándole y el cabrero sujetando al mastín, que se inquieta de ver á un extraño" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVII-XLVIII).
