| Commentary | ".... upon which Don Quixote immediately fell like a sack to the ground, in sight of the innkeeper and the travellers,...".
Don Quixote falls on the ground before the innkeeper and the newly arrived travelers (servants of don Luis' father) when Maritornes (not included in the illustration) unties the rope from the window. Remarkable figures, but don Quixote lacks certain naturalism. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details. Realistic/picturesque style with good light and shadow effects. |
| Notes | 1 – After José Jiménez Aranda’s death, his brother, Luis Jiménez Aranda, continued illustrating Don Quixote (part I) following a very similar realistic/picturesque style as the one used by his brother, but, sometimes, his figures lack naturalism. |
