Different scenes from the tale "El Curioso Impertinente": Alselmo discovers Leonela with a man in her room and the man runs away; Anselmo tries to stab Leonela; Anselmo locks Leonela into her room; Anselmo tells Camila that Leonela has promised to tell him a great truth; Camila decides to run away while Anselmo sleeps; and Camila goes in search of Lotario. 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. |
