| Commentary | "«Here comes a fine troop of guests....»".
The innkeeper Juan Palomeque announces the arrival of some new guests (don Fernando, his companions and Luscinda). Remarkable figure, with good gesture. Great interest in representing a real Spanish character 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. |
