	Commentary	Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, arrives to the first inn, where he encounters a pair of party girls, both scared seeing the knight; also in the scene, a swineherd blowing his horn. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, full of life; notice their gestures; also the setting, carefully-done and based on real places from La Mancha. Notice also the perfect use of light and shadow, halftones and shading. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast.
	Notes	1 - Vierge's original drawings (Chinese ink and wash) were reproduced by photogravure (notice the plate mark); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
