Commentary | Sancho tells the Duchess the truth about Dulcinea's enchantment; also in the scene, some maidens and dueñas (doña Rodríguez).
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed and carefully-drawn figures and setting; good composition too. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching; perfect use of shading. |
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. |
