| Commentary | "... and there is not one of them but has carved and written on its smooth bark the name of Marcela,...".
Grisóstomo writing the name of Marcela on the trunks of the trees. 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 - "Notable es un dibujo en que el anamorado graba el nombre de Marcela en unos árboles de tanto relieve que parecen hechos por el natural" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIV). |
