Commentary | ".... and his notion, which he explained to the barber, was...".
At Juan Palomeque's inn, the pirest tells the barber his plan to rescue doN Quixote from Sierra Morena. Figures resolved with remarkable gestures (dialogue). Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting 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. |
