| Commentary | "And being mounted again, made what haste they could to get to some village before night set in:".
In a forest, don Quixote already mounted on Rocinante and Sancho mounting on his donkey to pursue their journey. Scene resolved with good naturalism. 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). |
