Commentary | "And Don Quixote fared the same way, all his skill and high mettle availing him nothing,...".
Don Quixote and Sancho lying on the ground after having been beaten by a group of yangüeses; the yangüeses remain around talking, observing don Quixote and Sancho, preparing to leave... Remarkable variety of figures, gestures and expressions. 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. |
