	Commentary	"The first who discharged his blow was the Biscayner,...". The Biscayan hits don Quixote on his left shoulder with his sword, cutting his helmet and ear; Sancho observes the scene. The scene lacks movement. 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.
