	Commentary	Pedro Alonso encounters and helps don Quixote, lying on the ground after having been beaten by the groom of some silk merchants from Toledo. Some windmills in the background. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, and they suggest the humour/irony of Cervantes' text. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. His fine and short drawing lines imitate etching.
	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.
