| Commentary | ".... fell on his knees before her,...".
Sancho, knelt, asks princess Micomicona (Dorotea) to let him kiss her hands as his queen and mistress. Also in the scene, don Quixote, Cardenio, the barber and the priest. 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. |
