Commentary ".... and though he strove to raise her up, she without rising...".
In Sierra Morena, princess Micomicona (Dorotea) knelt before don Quixote, who tries to raise her up; the barber, disguised with a fake beard as Micomicona's squire, and Sancho observe the scene.
Well-known scene and composition.
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.
