| Commentary | "At this moment Don Quixote came out in full panoply,...".
Don Quixote, completely armed and accompanied by Sancho, comes into the room where don Fernando, his companions, Dorotea, Cardenio, Luscinda, the priest, the barber and the innkeeper's daughter are reunited. Remarkable figures, with good gestures. 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. |
