	Commentary	".... the king my father, who was called Tinacrio the Sapient,...". Different scenes about princess Micomicona's story as told by herself (Dorotea) to don Quixote: the king Tinacrio, Micomicona's father, studying magic and foreseeing the future; death of Queen Jaramilla and, then, of king Tinacrio; the giant Pandafilando of the Scowl asking Micomicona to marry him; the giant conquers the kingdom of Micomicón and Micomicona runs away; Micomicona finds don Quixote and asks him to help her; and don Quixote kills the giant Pandafilando. Remarkable, original and carefully-done narrative composition. Notable variety of figures, 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.
