	Commentary	"I am informed, fair lady,...". Don Quixote asks the princess Micomicona (Dorotea) if it is true what Sancho has told him (that Micomicona is not a princess any longer, but only Dorotea). Witnessing the scene, Luscinda, Cardenio, the priest, the barber, don Fernando and his companions. 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.
