	Commentary	"Sir knight, if your worship wants lodging,...". The innkeeper welcomes don Quixote, still mounted on Rocinante, and offers him lodging; the two party girls and other people of the inn observe the scene; notice their expressions. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes, details and landscape; 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 - "... la plática que el gordo y flemático ventero mantiene con el reción llegado..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXIV).
