| Commentary | "But scarcely had she gained the door when Don Quixote perceived her, and sitting up in his bed...".
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 - "... dibujos llenos de gracia y de expresión. [...] el sentimiento con que están tratadas las formas vacunas de la maritornes; los vivos rasgos con que están pintadas las escaramuzas y pendencias, prestan mayor interés á estos dibujos" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLV). |
