	Commentary	"In short, chance provided me with one, who, when I told him what I wanted,...". In the Alcaná de Toledo, the author (Cervantes) finds a boy selling some old pamphlets in Arabic and, believing them to be about don Quixote's tory, he asks a Morisco to translate them. 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 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.
