Commentary | ".... and beyond all doubt he must have been of his senses,....".
The priest tells don Quixote the story of the galley slaves (pretending that he, the priest, does not know that it is don Quixote who has released them); also in the scene, Sancho and princess Micomicona (Dorotea). Very remarkable detailed figures, with good gestures and expressions; notice don Quixote's embarrassment. 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. |
