Commentary | Don Quixote, knelt, knighted by the innkeeper, who holds a book and a sword; witnessing the scene, two party girls (doña Tolosa and doña Molinera) and a boy holding a candle.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real. Notice also the perfect use of light and shadow, halftones and shading. 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). |
