Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho, guided by the bachelor's cousin, on their way to Montesino's cave.
Illustration with remarkarble setting, as a popular genre scene (carts, oxen...). Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real. 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. |
