| Commentary | "When one day he appeared dressed as a shepherd with his crook and sheepskin,...".
Grisóstomo and his friend Ambrosio, both dressed as shepherds and with a flock of sheep. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period setting, 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. |
