| Commentary | ".... that he came to the ground, giving so little heed to his beard,...".
The barber falls on the ground and loses his fake beard before Cardenio, the priest, princess Micomicona (Dorotea), don Quixote and Sancho. 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. |
