| Commentary | "But with the very first stroke he undid in a moment what he had been a whole week in doing:...".
Don Quixote observes his broken visor helmet after having hit it. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, 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). |
