	Commentary	"I remember well how sad and dreary those days and hours were to me...". Some scenes about Dorotea's story as told by herself to the priest, the barber and Cardenio in Sierra Morena: Dorotea despairs and gives up hope of getting married with don Fernando: Dorotea reprimands her maiden for having let don Fernando enter in her room; Dorotea, in man clothes, leaves her village with a servant; a neighbor from Luscinda's village tells Dorotea and her servant what happened during Luscinda's wedding with don Fernando; don Fernando tried to stab Luscinda, fainted, when he discovered that she only wanted to be wife of Cardenio; Dorotea and her servant listening to a town crier; the servant falls in love with Dorotea; Dorotea fights with her servant; Dorotea pushes her servant down into a cliff; and Dorotea runs away and finds a labourer. Very remarkable 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.
