Commentary "... snatched up a stone that he found near him, and with it delivered such a blow on Don Quixote's breast...".
In Sierra Morena, Cardenio suddenly raises a stone to throw it against don Quixote; Also in the scene Sancho and the goatherd; notice their gestures and expressions, very remarkable figures, specially Sancho and don Quixote.
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.
