Commentary ".... he streched himself upon the grass, and the others did the same...".
In Sierra Morena, Cardenio, don Quixote, the goatherd and Sancho sitting down in a green spot.
Remarkable figures; notice their gestures and expressions, specially Sancho and Cardenio.
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).
