	Commentary	"The curate at once hastened to uncovered her face...". After seeing don Fernando's face, Dorotea faints; the barber holds her and the priest takes her mask off. Also in the scene, Luscinda, still grasped by don Fernando, one of his companions and Sancho. Remarkable figures, with good gestures. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes. 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).
