| Commentary | "The inn keeper, seeing Don Quixote slung across the ass, asked Sancho what was amiss with him".
Also in the scene the innkeeper's wife or daughter. Scene resolved with good naturalism. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes and setting; 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.
