	Commentary	"Scarce had the ruddy Phoebus...". In the foreground, rosy-fingered Aurora spreading out flowers over some birds; image of great beauty. In the background, Phoebus' cart (sun). Remarkable allegorical illustration in comparisson with the predominant realistic/picturesque style of the whole edition. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light effects (dawn).
	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 - "Tras una linda alegoría de la aparición de Apolo en su carro precedido de la amorosa Aurora, á la que saludan los pajarillos..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIII).
