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...

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.
