	Commentary	"The girls, unaccustomed to such rethorical flourishes:...". Don Quixote introduces himself to the party girls; also in the scene a groom and some muleteers; notice their gestures and expressions; the figure of the groom is specially remarkable. 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).
