Commentary | "Who are never without a lance upon a rack, an old target, a lean horse, and a greyhound".
Great interest in representing accurate period setting; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow. |
Notes | 1 - The original drawing (Chinese ink and gouache white) was finished in 1898 in Sevilla and presented at the Exposition of Fine Arts of Barcelona (1898).
2 - "Sigue la descripción cervantina, en el tercer dibujo, con aquellos cuatro atributos del hidalgo que señala Cervantes, á saber: «lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor»"; éste tendido al sol, el rocín cabizbajo en su cuadra, y aquellos chirimbolos caballerescos á un extremo del patio. Nada falta y todo está tratado con admirable precisión" (José Ramón Mélida: "Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXIX-XXX). |
