	Commentary	"There stood by chance at the inn - door two young female adventures,...". Two party girls (doña Molinera and doña Tolosa for don Quixote) resting by the door of the inn; in the background (right), also a muleteer. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow.
	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 á la puerta de la venta las dos mujeres mozas de las llamadas del partido, que doncellas habían de parecer al loco viandante..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIII).
