Commentary After having hit and defeated a pair of muleteers (see in the background), don Quixote is stoned by others at the inn courtyard during the vigil of his arms.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; 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 elements in black create 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).
