	Commentary	"God bless me! said the curate with a shout,...". The priest, barber, housekeeper and niece during the scrutiny of don Quixote's library; remarkable expressions, although the illustration seems theatrical. 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. I TEXTO, p. XL).
