	Commentary	"... showing her to him one night by the light of a taper...". Three different scenes about Cardenio's life as told by himself to don Quixote, Sancho and the goatherd in Sierra Morena: Cardenio introduces Luscinda to don Fernando; don Fernando reading the love letters that Cardenio writes for Luscinda; and Cardenio and don Fernando talking about Luscinda. Original and remarkable 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.
