	Commentary	".... he made a mask with which he concealed his beard and face;...". At Juan Palomeque's inn, the priest and the barber disguise themselves helped by the innkeeper's wife; the priest with woman clothes and the barber with a fake beard (ox tail); the innkeeper's daughter and Maritornes observe them; the innkeeper arrives taken two mules to lend them. Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details. 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 - "Justamente estos bocetos son los primeros, según nuestras noticias, que el autor ejecutó en Sevilla, en la última etapa de su labor" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIX).
