Commentary | "They all went in, the housekeeper with them,".
The priest and the barber, followed by the housekeeper and the niece, enter in don Quixote's library; their gestures and expressions of curiosity are excellent. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting (detailed and superb), 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 1899 in Sevilla and presented at the National Exposition of Madrid (1899).
2 - "... dibujos del capítulo VI, llenos de expresión y de gracia" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XL). |
