| Commentary | "He advanced to the inn-door, saw there the two gay damsels...".
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, approaches the inn and discovers the two party girls. Great interest in representing accurate and Spanish period setting (inn) and landscape; realistic and picturesque. 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). |
