	Commentary	"... At this moment the draught took effect, and the poor squire began to discharge both ways...". After drinking Fierabrás' balsam, Sancho gets terribly sick and begins to vomit and defecate. Notice don Quixote's figure, covering his nose, and the different gestures and expressions of disgust (the innkeeper, his wife, his daughter, Maritornes, the officer of justice and others). 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.
