Commentary "... and giving him a slap on the croup, said, «He gives thee freedom»...".
Remarkable figures, resolved with natural gestures and expressions, and remarkable landscape.
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 - ".... dibujos, en los que al efecto de luz, vivo en lo alto, tibio en la sombría hondonada que á Don Quijote parece apropiado lugar para sus penitencias, se une el relieve y el acento de vida con que trató las figuras" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLVIII).
