| Commentary | "... he took the materials, of which he made a compound, mixing them all...".
Don Quixote begings to prepare Fierabrás' balsam; Sancho, the innkeeper Juan Palomeque and the officer of justice observe him. 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. |
