| Commentary | ".... her squire sprang from his mule and came forward to receive her in his arms,...".
In Sierra Morena, the barber (disguised with a fake beard) helps Dorotea (princess Micomicona) to dismount from her mule; Sancho and don Quixote observe the scene. Remarkable figures, with good gestures and expressions; notice don Quixote. 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. |
