	Commentary	"... she spared herself the staircase, and flung them down out of the window". At don Quixote's library, the housekeeper throwing don Quixote's chivalry books through the window into the yard; the niece helps her. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. Remarkable view of the village in the background. 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).
