| Commentary | "Sancho took down the armour...".
In the foreground, Sancho unhanging don Quixote's armour from the tree where don Quixote had left it during his penance. In the background, princess Micomicona (Dorotea) and her squire (the barber). Remarkable figures, with good gestures, and remarkable composition. 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. |
