| Commentary | "The distressed damsel strove with much pertinacity to kisss his hands;...".
In Sierra Morena, princess Micomicona (Dorotea) kissing don Quixote's hands because the knight has agreed to help her; Sancho and the barber (disguised as Micomicona's squire with a fake beard) observe 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. |
