	Commentary	"There were no necessity for so many words or objurgations, for at the first one Ginés jumped down,...". Recognizing his donkey, Sancho breaks into a run towards it and Ginés de Pasamonte runs away. Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, observes the scene. Remarkable figures, with good gestures, and remarkable composition; notice the diagonal (depth) from don Quixote (left foreground) to Ginés (right background). 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.
