	Commentary	"When he came neart it, he stopped Rozinante". Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, awaits still out of the inn to be welcome by the people of the "castle". Great interest in representing Spanish and accurate setting and landscape; realistic and picturesque; the landscape has been resolved with certain impressionist style. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of 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 - "El que no se engaña es Rocinante, pues en la lámina 9.ª, mientras el jinete le para en espera de que los del castillo salgan á recibirle con los honores de que por su esfuerzo se cree digno, el animal alarga el hocico olfateando un pienso con que remediar sus fuerzas y que, sin duda, le aguarda en el humilde ventorro que al fondo se descubre" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIV).
