	Commentary	Pedro Alonso tells the housekeeper, the niece, the barber and the priest how was don Quixote whe he found him. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, full of life, notice their gestures and expressions; 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 (niece's hair) 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); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
