Commentary | "Dorothea took the Moorish lady by the hand and leading her to a seat beside herself,...".
Zoraida, Dorotea, Luscinda, Sancho, don Quixote, the barber, don Fernando, one of his companions, the priest, the captive and the innkeeper, all reunited inside the inn. Very remarkable group and variety of figures, with different gestures and expressions. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details; good contrast with Zoraida's Moorish clothes. 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. |
