Commentary Don Quixote and Sancho spend the night with some goatherds; don Quixote sleeps in Pedro's hut.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting, carefully-done.
Notice 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); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
