	Commentary	"While the asturian gave her attention to Sancho, who needed it no less...". Maritornes healing Sancho's wounds at Juan Palomeque's inn. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects; notice the light and shadow effects produced by the lamp.
	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 - "... dibujos llenos de gracia y de expresión . [...] Las sombras reales, pero gigantescas, que de los personajes proyecta el candil en la pared, en los pasajes de la cura que hacen las mujeres de los apaleados [...] prestan mayor interés á estos dibujos" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLV).
