Commentary "As for Sancho, he went searching all over the floor for the head of the giant...".
Also in the scene the priest observing him.
Original and remarkable figure, resolved with naturalism.
Great interest in representing Spanish 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.
2 - "Movidas y llenas de expresión son las 17 composiciones en que describe la aventura de los cueros de vino tinto. En ellas resaltan las figuras del ventero desesperado, la curiosidad y el ansia con que todos se precipitan al aposento; la acometida del ventero á Don Quijote la sandez de Sancho cuando busca la cabeza del gigante" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. L).
