| Commentary | "They all came up and congratulated him on having faound his ass,....".
Don Quixote, princess Micomicona (Dorotea) and the priest (also the barber or Cardenio, but almost hidden behind the priest's mule) congratulate Sancho on having found his donkey. 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. |
