| Commentary | ".... and thereupon she removed it and disclosed a countenance so lovely,...".
Zoraida takes off her veil, showing her face; around her, the priest, don Fernando, one of his companions, Cardenio, don Quixote, the barber, Luscinda, Dorotea, Sancho and the captive. Remarkable figures, with good gestures. 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. |
