Commentary | "... for on the summit of the rock where they were digging the grave there appeared the shepherdess Marcela".
Don Quixote, Ambrosio, Vivaldo (still holding Grisóstomo's song) and others (lower half of the illustration) observe the appearance of Marcela (upper half). Good composition; the figures in the lower half with their backs to the viewer; Marcela's figure is highlighted. Great interest in representing 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. |
