| Commentary | Anselmo talking to Lotario about his plan to prove Camila's fidelity.
Remarkable setting; a detailed Italian forest of pine trees. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly. Notice the perfect use of light and shadow, halftones and shading. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some elements in black create 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. |
