Commentary At dusk, don Quixote and Sancho enter El Toboso.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; both figures are remarkable; see Sancho's gesture and expression.
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. 
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.
