| Commentary | "He drew his sword, and tried its edge upon...".
Don Quixote draws his sword to hit his helmet and test his new visor. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting (the courtyard is worth noting), clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow effects. |
| 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). |
