Commentary | ".... by the bones of my father and the shade of my mother,...".
The innkeeper's wife complains about don Quixote before the priest and the barber; also in the scene, the innkeeper's daughter and Maritornes. Remarkable figures, with good gestures; notice the priest. 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. |
