| Commentary | "He next raised up Rocinante, and as for him, had he possessed a tongue to complain with, most assuredly...".
Don Quixote and Sancho trying to raise Rocinante after having been beaten by a group of yangüeses. 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.
2 - "El dibujo en que levantan á Rocinante ofrece bonito efecto de luz" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLV). |
