	Commentary	"... and to begin with, Don Quixote delivered a slash at one of them that laid open the leather jerkin...". Don Quixote attacks with his sword one of the yangüeses that were hitting Rocinante; Sancho scared beside him; other yangüeses come with sticks to the aid of their companion. Remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions; scene with good movement. 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.
