| Commentary | "I repeat that I grant it;...".
In Sierra Morena, don Quixote agrees to help princess Micomicona; Micomicona (Dorotea) remains knelt before him and also her squire (the barber disguised with a fake beard); also Sancho in the scene. 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. |
