| Commentary | ".... the curate was anxious to go on with the novel...".
The priest ready to continue reading the tale of "El Curioso Impertinente"; around him, Dorotea, the barber, the innkeeper and Cardenio listening. Remarkable figures, with good gestures, and good composition. 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. |
