| Commentary | ".... he offered his saddle to the curate,....".
The barber (disguised as Micomicona's squire with a fake beard) offers the saddle of his mule to the priest, while he will mount on the hindquarters. Also in the scene, don Quixote mounted on Rocinante, Sancho, princess Micomicona (Dorotea) and Cardenio. 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. |
