Commentary | "Dorothea comforted Sancho, telling him...".
Dorotea consoles Sancho, who had believed that don Quixote had really killed a giant (wineskins) promising him the best county of her kingdom. Also in the scene, the innkeeper's daughter and, in the background, the priest, the barber and Cardenio. Remarkable figures, with good gestures. 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. |
