	Commentary	"... he told the housekeeper to take all the big ones and throw them into the yard". The priest, housekeeper and barber during the scrutiny of don Quixote's library; remarkable gestures and expressions; notice the half-empty shelves. 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.
