	Commentary	"... art thou come, cruel basilisk of these mountains, to see if haply in thy presence...?". Ambrosio, showing her Grisóstomo's corpse, accuses Marcela of his death; notice the contrast between the gestures and expressions of both figures; Ambrosio angry and expressive, and Marcela standing still. Also in the scene, Vivaldo and other shepherds and goatherds; two of them digging Grisóstomo's tomb. Well-known scene and 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.
