	Commentary	"... braced on his target, grasped his lance,". Don Quixote mounted on Rocinante and completely armed ready to leave his home and begin his first sally. Great interest in representing accurate period setting (courtyard), clothes (armour) and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light effects (dawn light).
	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 - "Puesto luego sobre Rocinante, con la adarga embrazada, toma su lanza que para el efecto dejó apoyada en un árbol..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIII).
