Commentary | ".... and let fly a couple of kicks in the air...".
The barber's mule begins to kick when he tries to mount on its hindquarters; also in the scene, the priest, already mounted on the same mule, don Quixote, Sancho, princess Micomicona (Dorotea) and Cardenio. Very 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. |
