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). |
