Commentary | "Anselmo received this letter,...".
Different scenes from the tale "El Curioso Impertinente": Anselmo receives Camila's letter; Camila upset and missing Anselmo; Lotario continues flattering Camila; Camila, finally, falls in love with Lotario; Anselmo returns; Anselmo embracing Lotario; Anselmo returns with Camila; Leonela and her young lover; Lotario observes a man going out of Camila's house; and Lotario tells Anselmo that Camila has surrendered to his love. Very remarkable, original and carefully-done narrative composition. Remarkable variety of figures, expressions and 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. |
