	Commentary	"The lady in the coach, amazed and terrified at what she saw, ordered the coachman to draw aside...". Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante and raising his sword, and the Biscayan, protected with a cushion and raising his sword too, both ready to attack each other; the lady of the carriage, scared, orders the coachman to draw aside. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects.
	Notes	1 – Reproduction of the original sketch (Chinese ink and gouache white). Jiménez Aranda meant to paint a more-finished drawing after this sketch using natural sceneries and real models, but he died before completing the project. 2 - "... composiciones muy movidas y de muchas figuras de hombres y caballos: figuras de elegante silueta, llenas de intención y relieve" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLII).
