| Commentary | "And all this while he rode so softly, and the sun's heat increased so fast...".
Don Quixote ridding Rocinante under the sun of La Mancha. Great interest in representing real and accurate landscape (La Mancha); realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light 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).
2 - "... vemos la figura típica y cabal de Don Quijote, caminando despacioso en su rocín, ambos cabizbajos, abrumados por el sol que baña la llanura manchega" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIII). |
