Commentary | In Barataria Island, governor Sancho is not allowed to eat by doctor Pedro Recio who, pointing with his wand, orders a servant to take away the dishes.
Well-known scene, but now resolved with Vierge's masterly style; detailed figures with good 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. |
