| Commentary | "And at the private door of his back-yard sallied out into the fields...".
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante and completely armed, leaves his house. Great interest in representing real and accurate period setting, clothes 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 - "y por la puerta falsa le vemos salir al campo; todo esto á la débil luz del alba" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIII). |
