	Commentary	"«Cardenio, I am in my bridal dress»,...". Six scenes about Cardenio's story as told by himself to the priest and the barber in Sierra Morena: Cardenio talking with Luscinda the night before her wedding with don Fernando; Cardenio enters into Luscinda's house and hides himself behind some tapestries; beginning of Luscinda's wedding with don Fernando; Luscinda and don Fernando get married; Luscinda faints and don Fernando reads a paper found in her dress; and don Fernando, after reading the letter, sits down and remains thoughtful. Very remarkable, original and carefully-done narrative composition. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, settings 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.
