	Commentary	"That for the pleasure of kicking handsomely that traitor Galalon, he would have given up,...". Alonso Quijano, reading chivalry books, becomes mad; several chivalry books on the floor and on the table; the greyhound barking/howling. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes and furniture; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow; don Quixote's gesture seems forced.
	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 - "Quijada ya se muestra loco. Tras de tales lecturas, ha sobrevenido el arrebato, ha suspendido la lectura, se ha levantado, y con el rostro contraído de rabia, los puños cerrados, en airada actitud, quisiera dar una mano de coces al traidor de Galalón. Á sus gritos aúlla el perro" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXI).
