| Commentary | "And Sancho brought it to Don Quixote, who, with his hands to his head...".
Sancho brings the ingredients to prepare Fierabrás' balsam to don Quixote and the knight is complaining about the blow that the officer of justice gave him with the oil lamp on the head. 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. |
