	Commentary	After discovering that her daughter, Zoraida, is a christian and is running away with the captive by her own will, Agi Morato jumps from the boat into the sea; notice Zoraida's figure, alarmed. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real. Notice 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; see the waves.
	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.
