	Commentary	".... when it struck the curate that he was doing wrong in rigging himself out in that fashion,...". While leaving the inn, the priest, disguised with woman clothes, asks the barber, with a fake beard, to interchange their disguise. In the background, the innkeeper Juan Palomeque, his wife and Maritornes. Remarkable figures and gestures. 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).
