	Commentary	The group of don Quixote, Vivaldo, Sancho, other gentleman and the goatherds encounters another group of shepherds (Ambrosio); all heading for Grisóstomo's burial. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; remarkable detailed figures and composition. Notice 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.
