Commentary "Six of the number were carrying a bier covered with a great variety of flowers and branches".
Procession of shepherds wearing black sheepskins; six of them carry a bier with Grisóstomo's corpse (covered with flowers and branches); others hold several tools to dig his tomb.
Remarkable composition and illustration, with good variety of figures and gestures.
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 - "... sobresale [...] por más original, movido y de más efecto pictórico, la aparición de las andas en que por entre una agreste cañada conducen al muerto los zagales coronados" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIV).
