| Commentary | "By this time Dorothea had seated herself upon the curate's mule,...".
Dorotea (princess Micomicona) and the barber get ready to go in search of don Quixote while the priest finishes telling Sancho the invented story of the princess Micomicona; Cardenio observes them. Remarkable figures, with good gestures and expressions. 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. |
