Commentary | "Whoever told you, valiant knight...".
Princess Micomicona (Dorotea) answers don Quixote about what Sancho has told him (that she is not a princess any more, but only Dorotea), affirming that she is still a princess. Witnessing the scene, Luscinda, Cardenio, the priest, 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. |
