	Commentary	"... and as day was now beginning to break, he opened the inn gate,". At dawn, the officer of justice opening the inn gate; also in the scene Sancho, who has just asked him for the ingredients of Fierabrás' balsam. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details; realistic and picturesque. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects.
	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.
