	Commentary	Don Quixote and Sancho enter their village; Sancho's donkey with the clothes from Altisidora's episode; aside the priest and the bachelor Sansón Carrasco. Vierge's style is masterly; detailed and carefully-drawn figures and setting and excellent use of light and shadow, halftones and shading. Notice the small genre scene in the lower left corner (a man cutting melons). 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.
