	Commentary	Don Quixote, standing on Rocinante and with his hand tied to a window, observes the arrival of four travelers on horseback to Juan Palomeque's inn (servants of don Luis' father). The scene is well-known, but Vierge's style is absolutely personal and masterly; his figures are detailed and real. Notice the perfect use of light and shadow (moon light), 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.
	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.
