	Commentary	"... when at the meeting of two paths they saw coming towards them some six shepherds...". The group of don Quixote, Sancho and the goatherds encounters another group of shepherds and gentlemen on horseback (with Ambrosio and Vivaldo). Scene resolved with remarkable naturalism; notice the variety of gestures; the composition is worth noting too. 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.
