Commentary | "And Don Quixote bade farewell to his hosts and to the travellers,".
Don Quixote bids farewell to Vivaldo and his companion; these three figures have remarkable gestures and expressions. Also in the scene, the goatherds and shepherds, already leaving, and Sancho with Rocinante and his donkey. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and 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. |
