| Commentary | "... Whereupon they carried him to his bed, and searched for his wounds...".
Don Quixote in bed while the housekeeper and his niece take care of him; also in the scene the priest, the barber (holding an oil lamp), Pedro Alonso and the greyhound. 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; notice the excellent light effects produced by the lamp. |
| 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). |
