	Commentary	"Pedro answered, that all he knew of the matter was, that the deceased was a wealthy gentleman,...". One of the goatherds, Pedro, informs don Quixote and Sancho about the identity of Grisóstomo; other goatherds continue sleeping. 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).
