| Commentary | "... Don Quixote seeing him in this state said: «It is my belief, Sancho, that this mischief comes of thy not being dubbed a Knight,...»".
After drinking Fierabrás' balsam, Sancho gets terribly sick; also in the scene, don Quixote, the officer of justice, the innkeeper, his wife and his daughter. Remarkable expressionist figure of Sancho. 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. |
