Commentary | ".... in an instant she so arranged herself...".
In Sierra Morena, Dorotea takes off her man clothes and gets dressed with rich clothes. Masterly figure, absolutely remarkable. In the background, the priest, the barber, Sancho and Cardenio talking. 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 - "... es notable la figura escorzada de Dorotea, vistiéndose de gran señora, en una quebrada de Sierra Morena, apartada de sus nuevos amigos" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIX). |
