Commentary | "That body, sirs, on which you are looking with compassionate eyes, was the abode of a soul...".
Grisóstomo's corpse on a bier and covered with flowers; around him, don Quixote, Vivaldo, other gentleman, goatherds and shepherds; Ambrosio explains them who was Grisóstomo; notice Ambrosio's gesture. Sancho remains in the background mounted on his donkey. Very remarkable and moving scene with a carefully-done composition. 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. |
