Commentary | "«... señor, whoever you are, do us the favour and kindness to give us a little rosemary,...»".
Sancho asks the officer of justice for the ingredients of Fierabrás' balsam. 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. |
