Commentary "... and made his way in the dark into the room crying: «Hold! in the name of this Jurisdiction!»".
An officer of justice orders the innkeeper, Maritornes, a muleteer and Sancho to stop fighting; don Quixote remains lying on his broken bed.
Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects; the scene, resolved almost completely in darknees, is worth noting. 
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).
