Commentary | Sancho, on his donkey, running away from the members of the braying mayors squadron; in the background, don Quixote waiting for him.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures with well-resolved movement. 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. |
