Commentary "To all this Sancho listened,...".
Sancho listening to don Fernando telling his story; around him, his companions, Dorotea, the priest, the barber, Cardenio, Luscinda, the innkeeper and his daughter.
Remarkable figures, with good gestures, and remarkable composition.
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.
