| Commentary | "The curate charged the niece to be very careful to make her uncle confortable...".
Also in the scene, in the background, the housekeeper taking care of don Quixote. Very remarkable figures, with good gestures of dialogue. 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. |
