	Commentary	"Here, your worship, señor licenciate, sprinkle this room,...". Afraid of the enchanters of don Quixote's chivalry books, the housekeeper asks the priest to sprinkle the room with holy water. Also in the scene, the niece and the barber, looking through don Quixote's books. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting (detailed and superb), furniture, 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).
