	Commentary	"They closed with him...". The priest, the housekeeper and the barber try to calm down don Quixote, who has woken up in his room crying and brandishing his sword; the niece appears raising a fallen chair. Remarkable variety of expressions and gestures; notice don Quixote's figure. 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 - "... viene una de las más excelentes composiciones. Es aquélla que representa á dichos personajes abrazados al loco que, en camisa, agitándose convulso, con el sobresalto y el furor pintados en el rostro, lanza descomunales voces. El grupo, y, en especial, la figura del protagonista, tiene la expresión justa." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XL).
