Commentary | "It happened just at this time, that a swineherd, who in a stubble hard by was collecting a drove of hogs...".
A swineherd blowing his horn to collect a drove of hogs. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and landscape; realistic and picturesque; excellent as a genre scene. 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 - "... y viene por acaso á satisfacerle su ilusión un porquero, el cual toca su cuerno para recoger su piara de entre unos rastrojos, siendo porquero, puercos y rastrojos los elementos de la preciosa lámina 12" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIV). |
