	Commentary	"... and they told the curate all that had passed between him and them...". At the inn, the innkeeper Juan Palomeque and his wife tell the priest and barber all what don Quixote did staying at the inn; the barber holds an ox tail to prepare a fake beard. 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. 2 - "Justamente estos bocetos son los primeros, según nuestras noticias, que el autor ejecutó en Sevilla, en la última etapa de su labor" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIX).
