"Dorotea Pretends To Be The Princess Micomicona; And Sancho Panza Drinks The True Balsam Of Fierbras: Two Scenes From Don Quixote" is a painting by the 19th-century Spanish artist José Jiménez y Aranda. The work is a visual representation of two separate scenes from Miguel de Cervantes's seminal novel "Don Quixote," which was first published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. Jiménez y Aranda, known for his detailed and historically accurate genre paintings, captures the essence of Cervantes's rich narrative through his depiction of these moments.

The first scene depicted in the painting, "Dorotea Pretends to Be the Princess Micomicona," is drawn from an episode in the novel where Dorotea, a character wronged by Don Quixote's squire, Sancho Panza's master, agrees to pretend to be a distressed princess to help bring Don Quixote back to his village. This ruse is part of a larger plan by several characters to trick the delusional knight into abandoning his chivalric adventures and return home.

The second scene, "Sancho Panza Drinks the True Balsam of Fierbras," illustrates another memorable episode from the novel where Sancho Panza, after witnessing Don Quixote drinking a concoction that he believes to be a magical healing balsam, decides to try it himself. The balsam, however, has a disastrous effect on Sancho, causing him great discomfort and further comedic relief in the story.

Jiménez y Aranda's painting is a testament to the enduring popularity of "Don Quixote" and its characters, and it showcases the artist's skill in narrative art. By bringing to life these two scenes, the painter not only pays homage to Cervantes's literary masterpiece but also contributes to the visual culture surrounding the novel, which has inspired countless artists over the centuries. The painting is an important work for its historical value, its representation of Spanish literature, and its demonstration of Jiménez y Aranda's artistic prowess.
