| Commentary | "And kissing his hand again...".
Sancho knelt before don Quixote and kissing his right hand (once don Quixote has promised him that he will win an island for him in another adventure). The figures are highlighted by the austere landscape. 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. |
