	Commentary	"In carrying so many together she let one fall at the feet of the barber,...". The barber, housekeeper and niece during the scrutiny of don Quixote's library; good variety of gestures; notice the shelves, emptier and emptier in each illustration. 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.
	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.
