	Commentary	"And the lady in the coach and the rest of her following...". The Basque lady observing the fight between his Biscayan squire and don Quixote; a pair of maidens and a dueña accompany her. Original composition; the viewer is placed inside the coach, viewing the ladies, but not the scene that they are watching. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; notice the influence of Velázquez' paintings; 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.
