| Commentary | "And as Sancho caught sight of him at the door, seeing him coming in his shirt, with a cloth on his head, and a lamp in his hand,...".
When the officer of justice, in his shirt, with a cloth on his head and holding a lamp, returns to don Quixote's room to check if the knight is dead or alive, Sancho believes that he is the same enchanted Moor that has beaten them before. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects. |
