	Commentary	".... seated himself womanfashion on his mule, while the barber mounted his,...". The priest disguised with woman clothes and mounted on his mule while the innkeeper Juan Palomeque helps the barber to mount his; Maritornes and the innkeeper's wife observe the scene. Very remarkable figures, gestures and expressions. 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).
