Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; well-drawn figures.
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.

| Commentary | At Juan Palomeque's inn, Dorotea, hearing someone singing, awakes doña Clara, but she covers her ears because she does not want to listen to the song (don Luis').
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; well-drawn figures. 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. |
