Commentary | "Leonela took her up in her arms and laid her on the bed,...".
Different scenes from the tale "El Curioso Impertinente": Leonela lays Camila, stabbed by herself, on the bed while Lotario runs away; Lotario and Anselmo talking; and Camila pretends to receive Lotario, accompanied by Anselmo, with averted countenance. 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. |
