| Commentary | "Don Quixote did so, checking Rozinante by the bridle, till his weary squire overtook him,".
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, awaiting for Sancho, who follows him through a forest. 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.
2 - "El bosque es en esta serie un tema tratado con una tendencia pictórica muy hermosa..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIII). |
