Commentary | "They, howerer [sic], it seemed, preferred their pasture to him...".
Rocinante kicked by the mares and hit by the yangüeses; don Quixote and Sancho approach from the background. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and details; realistic and picturesque. The movement and violence of the scene have been resolved perfectly. 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. |
