	Commentary	"The service of flesh being finished, they spread upon the skins a great quantity of acorns...". Don Quixote and Sancho having dinner with some goatherds; scene resolved with good naturalism; notice the variety of gestures and expressions. 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).
