Commentary | "Sancho had made his appearance in the middle of this conversation, and he was very much troubled and cast down...".
Sancho listening upset to the priest's speech about the falseness of chivalry books. Also in the scene, the innkeeper, his wife and the barber (also Dorotea and Cardenio, but hidden behind the innkeeper); Maritornes and the innkeeper's daughter leaving the room. Remarkable figures, with good variety of gestures; notice Sancho's expression. 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. |
