Commentary | "... and then Don Quixote and those who accompanied him turned to examine the bier,".
Don Quixote, Vivaldo, a gentleman and others observe Grisóstomo's corpse; meanwhile, Ambrosio greets some shepherds (left) and others dig Grisóstomo's tomb (right). Remarkable composition, with diferent actions and variety of figures, gestures and expressions. 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. |
