| Commentary | "What art thou talking about, fool?".
Don Quixote, awoken by Sancho, does not believe that Micomicona is not a princess any longer. Remarkable figures, with good gestures and expressions. 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. |
