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.
