Commentary | "... he began calling to him now: «Sancho, my friend, art thou asleep? sleepest thou, friend Sancho?...»".
Don Quixote wakes up after having been trampled by a muleteer and he begins to call Sancho. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects; the scene, resolved almost in complete darkness, 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. |
