Commentary | "We want my friend's housekeeper and niece here now...".
The priest, holding one of the chivalry books of the innkeeper and talking to the barber, remembers the scrutiny of don Quixote's library. Also in the scene, the innkeeper, his daughter, his wife, Dorotea, Cardenio and Sancho. Remarkable figures, with good variety of gestures. 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. |
