Commentary | "... the duke's second son, Fernando by name...".
Different scenes about Cardenio's life as told by himself to don Quixote, Sancho and the goatherd in Sierra Morena: Cardenio becomes a close friend of don Fernando, Duke Ricardo's second son; don Fernando tells Cardenio his love worries; and they both decide to return to Cardenio's house, where his father welcomes them. Original and carefully-done narrative composition. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, settings and details. 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. |
