| Commentary | "With that he went and held Don Quixote's stirrup...".
The innkeeper helps don Quixote to dismount from Rocinante. Also in the scene a groom and the two party girls; one of them talking with a muleteer; notice their gestures and expressions. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes 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). |
