Commentary | ".... and so, fancying he had killed him, he hastily hitched up his tunic under his girdle and took to his heels...".
Don Quixote remains lying on the ground half-dead while Sancho arrives to help him and the penitent that has hit him runs away. Also in the scene, the procession of penitents and ecclesiastics (left) and the priest and the barber (right). Notable figures and good composition. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes 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. |
