Commentary | "I come not, Ambrosio, for any of the purposes thou hast named, but to defend...".
The shepherdess Marcela begins her speech and defence; Ambrosio, Vivaldo, don Quixote and other shepherds and goatherds listen to her; Sancho remains in the very background. Very notable composition; illustration with excellent perspective, very original. 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 - "... Marcela, bella figura de perfil..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIV). |
