	Commentary	"In her agitation and sudden movement fell off the silk...". Luscinda, grasped by don Fernando, loses the mask that she was wearing; Dorotea, the barber and the priest observe her face; also in the scene, one of don Fernando's companions. Remarkable figures, with good gestures and expressions; notice Luscinda's face. 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. 2 - "Esta nueva novela episódica […] no dió al pintor realista tan buenos motivos como la novela principal; pero supo tratar con elegancia los caballeros, dar misterio á la tapada, vida á la escena de apearse los viajeros y retirar los mozos las caballerías, y movimiento á la acción dramática. Tres dibujos nos impresionaron en ésta: es uno el que representa á Dorotea, vencida por el llanto, á los pies de Luscinda; es otro el momento de exclamar el caballero entre las dos mujeres, ¡Venciste, Dorotea!, y el tercero la efusiva escena en que Dorotea, aún arrodillada, abraza á su amante por las rodillas" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, pp. L-LI).
