| Commentary | Don Quixote attacking Maese Pedro's theater and puppets; his servant, who was telling Melisendra's story, crouches down to protect himself while other inn guests run away alarmed.
Well-known scene, but resolved with Vierge's masterly style; detailed figures, gestures and expressions. 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. |
