Commentary | Sancho on his way to Barataria Island followed by several soldiers and Duke's servants; Sancho appears looking backwards to see if his donkey follows him.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures and remarkable composition with a wide landscape view. 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. |
