| Commentary | ".... having half gnawed off the end of a finger and kept them in suspense...".
Remarkable figures, with good gestures and expressions; notice Sancho's expression, trying to remember don Quixote's letter while the priest and barber await. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, settings and details; notice Juan Palomeque's inn in the background. 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. |
