Commentary ".... than the landlady made at the barber,...".
The innkeeper's wife demands the barber to give her ox tail (used as a fake beard) back to her.
Also in the scene, the priest, the innkeeper's daughter, Dorotea and Cardenio.
Remarkable figures, with good variety of gestures and expressions.
Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details.
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.
