| Commentary | "... and so he drank near a quart of what could not be put into the flask and remained in the pipkin...".
Don Quixote drinking Fierabrás' balsam; Sancho, the innkeeper Juan Palomeque and the officer of justice observe him. Good variety of gestures and expressions. 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. |
