| Commentary | "... could not help laughing so loudly, that Don Quixote was offended...".
After listening to don Quixote, both party girls begin to laugh: notice their gestures and expressions. Also in the scene the innkeeper, who approches to see who has arrived. 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. |
| 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). |
