| Commentary | "They ransacked the alforjas, and without any ceremony very peacefully and sociably".
Don Quixote and Sancho eating in a meadow; Rocinante and Sancho's donkey grazing in the background. Scene resolved with good naturalism. 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. |
