Commentary | "... when they saw descending a gap between two high mountains some...".
The group of don Quixote, Vivaldo, another gentleman, Sancho, the goatherds, Ambrosio and shepherds spies some shepherds wearing black sheepskins (and carrying Grisóstomo's corpse). 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; notice the landscape. |
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. |
