| Commentary | "... what do you think, pray, señor licenciate Pero Pérez....?".
The housekeeper, the niece, the barber and the priest talking about don Quixote's disappearance. 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 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). |
