Commentary | Cardenio's dead mule in Sierra Morena.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black (crows) 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. |
