Commentary | ".... and the landlady told them what had taken place between him and the carrier,...".
While the priest, the barber, Dorotea and Cardenio have lunch at Juan Palomeque's inn, the innkeeper's wife tells them some stories about don Quixote, the muleteer and Sancho. Also in the scene, the innkeeper, his daughter and Maritornes. Remarkable figures, with good variety of gestures. 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. |
