Commentary ".... thus was the whole inn filled with cries, wailings, and shrieks, dismay, confusion,...".
Fight at the inn beacuse of the packsaddle (Agramante's camp); don Quixote fighting with the officers of the Holy Brotherhood (center); one of the officers fallen on the floor hit by don Quixote with his lance (broken beside the packsaddle); don Fernando and his companions helping don Quixote;the innkeeper ready to help the officers; Sancho fighting with the barber (left); the priest trying to stop the fight; don Luis seized by his servants (right); the judge beside them; the innkeeper's wife (or Maritornes) and her daughter crying; doña Clara fainted beside Dorotea, Luscinda and Zoraida (background).
Very remarkable scene, variety of figures, gestures and expressions (accurate to Cervantes' text) and composition.
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.
