Commentary "... and one of the goatherds, seeing the hurt, bid him give himself no more trouble about it...".
One of the goatherds offers himself to heal don Quixote's hurt ear; Sancho was bandaging it again.
Scene resolved with good naturalism.
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).
