Commentary Don Quixote and Sancho sleeping in Sierra Morena; don Quixote on Rocinante and Sancho on his packsaddle on four stakes; in the foreground, Ginés de Pasamonte running away with Sancho's donkey.
Well-known scene.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting.
Notice the perfect use of light and shadow and shading.
His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching.
