| Commentary | "«So, so!, said Sancho; Lorenzo Corchuelo's daughter is the lady Dulcinea del Toboso....?»".
Remarkable figures, resolved with good gestures and expressions, and landscape. 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 - ".... dibujos, en los que al efecto de luz, vivo en lo alto, tibio en la sombría hondonada que á Don Quijote parece apropiado lugar para sus penitencias, se une el relieve y el acento de vida con que trató las figuras" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVIII). |
