Commentary | "... he entered the village...".
At setting, don Quixote, mounted on Pedro Alonso's donkey, and his neighbour enter their village followed by Rocinante; the horse carries don Quixote's arms, armour and broken lance. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and setting; 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 1899 in Sevilla and presented at the National Exposition of Madrid (1899).
2 - "Sigue esta admirable psicología de Don Quijote: [...] vémosle al crepúsculo discurrir por las tristes calles del lugar..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XXXVIII). |
