	Commentary	Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, and Sancho, on his donkey, begin their new sally through the field of Montiel (don Quixote's second sally, first with Sancho). 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); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
