| Commentary | "He resolved it should pass for a full and sufficient helmet".
Don Quixote makes a new visor of pasteboard for his helmet after having broken the first. 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 expression is worth noting too. |
| 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). |
