Commentary | ".... to whom she related what had occurred,...".
Different scenes from the tale "El Curioso Impertinente": Camila tells Lotario that she believes that Alselmo has discovered their love affair; Lotario takes Camila to a monastery; Anselmo wakes up and discovers that Leonela has run away using some sheets as a rope; Alselmo asks his servants about Camila (or Lotario's servants about his friend); Anselmo closes the doors of his house; and Anselmo leaves the city on horseback. 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. |
