Commentary "His master, seeing him thus stationed, said to him: «That you may see, Sancho, the intrinsic worth...".
Don Quixote allows Sancho, who remains standing to serve don Quixote, to sit down beside him to have dinner with the goatherds; notice their gestures and expressions.
Remarkable variety of figures and gestures.
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.
2 - "... las escenas pastoriles evocan recuerdos virgilianos, [...] composiciones llenas de vigor y de originalísimos efectos de claro-obscuro, que de color parecen según la riqueza de tonos conseguida en algunos trozos" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIII).
