After listening to Marcela's speech (the shepherdess is already leaving), don Quixote defends her before Ambrosio. Notice the remarkable variety of expressions and gestures (Vivaldo and his companion, other shepherds and goatherds...); reactions after Marcela's speech. 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. |
