	Commentary	".... thou must have gone and come through the air,...". Some scenes from the dialogue between don Quixote and Sancho about Sancho's embassy to El Toboso; don Quixote finds Sancho's travel too quick: Sancho helped by a magician to travel quickier; a knight appears on a charriot of fire to help another knight fighting with a dragon; don Quixote decapitating giant Pandafilando; don Quixote getting married with princess Micomicona; and Sancho shipping off his black vassals. Remarkable, imaginative, original and carefully-done narrative composition. Notable figures, with good variety of gestures. 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.
