	Commentary	Attacking a windmill, don Quixote and Rocinante are hit by the sail; Sancho, afraid, observes the scene from the background. Well-known scene. The illustration, with don Quixote and Rocinante raised into the air by the sail, is exaggerated, but quite effective. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; carefully-done setting based on real places from La Mancha. Notice also the perfect use of 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.
