	Commentary	"... and holding her firmly in his grasp he went in to say in a low, tender voice, «Would...". The dialogue between don Quixote and Maritornes is observed by a muleteer, who was waiting for Maritornes, while Sancho remains sleeping. Remarkable figures. 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).
