	Commentary	"At the end of which he awoke and felt very great bodily relief.... Sancho Panza, who also regarded as miraculous...". Sancho asks don Quixote for permission to drink the Fierabrás' balsam too. Great interest in representing real Spanish setting and details; realistic and picturesque. Good gestures. 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. 2 - "Hay dos de singular efecto debido en uno al rayo de sol que, en el suelo del camaranchón, donde se viste Don Quijote, se proyecta luminoso por el cuadrado de la ventana..." (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLV).
