| Commentary | "But first fell upon his knees before him, and taking hold of...".
In the foreground, Sancho knelt before don Quixote (to ask him for his island). In the background, some squires helping the Biscayan to get up and the ladies going into the carriage again to pursue their journey. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic. 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. |
