	Commentary	"... sending them some damsel through the air in a cloud...". An enchanter carrying on a cloud a dwarf and a damsel with a vial of magic water to heal wounds; the cloud shapes imaginary creatures. Reference to the advice given by the innkeeper to don Quixote about the things that he must carry in his purses. Very original illustration; imaginative image in contrast with the predominant realistic/picturesque style of the whole edition. 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 1899 in Sevilla and presented at the National Exposition of Madrid (1899). 2 - "...luego la imagen que le representa de un sabio encantador trayendo por el aire, sobre una nube, entre monstruos tratados con viva fantasía, un enano y una doncella con la redoma del agua para curar al andante sus posibles heridas. Este dibujo, de estilo elevado y ejecución muy justa en los trazos del natural, está á la altura de los de Fray Martín" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXVI).
