Commentary Don Quixote, knelt, knighted by the innkeeper, who holds a book and a sword; witnessing the scene, two party girls (doña Tolosa and doña Molinera) and a boy holding a candle.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real.
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.
His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. 
Notes 1 - Vierge's original drawings (Chinese ink and wash) were reproduced by photogravure (notice the plate mark).
