	Commentary	".... he asked what was the news in Florence". Different scenes from the tale "El Curioso Impertinente": Anselmo, sat by the foot of a tree, asks a traveler what was the news in Florence; Leonela discovered by the governor; Anselmo arrives to the house of a friend; Anselmo begins to write a letter for Camila; next morning, the friend encounters Anselmo dead on the table with the unfinished letter; Lotario dies in a batle; and Camila becomes a nun. 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.
