| Commentary | "I can tell you one day she posted herself on the top of the belfry of the village to call some labourers...".
Scenes told by Sancho to don Quixote in Sierra Morena about real Aldonza Lorenzo (Dulcinea): Aldonza calling some labourers from the belfry; and the Biscayan and the galley slaves prostrating themselves before Aldonza. Original and remarkable 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. |
