Sancho believes that Dorotea's invented story is true and that don Quixote will finally marry a princess. Also in the scene, Cardenio, the barber and the priest. Remarkable figures, with good gestures and expressions, specially Sancho. 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. |
