Commentary ".... he climbed up to the top of a high rock,...".
Remarkable image of don Quixote, melancholic and thoughtful, during his penance in Sierra Morena; quite in keeping with 19th century romantic taste.
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.
