	Commentary	At Juan Palomeque's inn, an officer of the Holy Brotherhood enters don Quixote's room and discovers Maritornes, a muleteer, the innkeeper and Sancho finghting among themselves. The illustration is not quite accurate; the muleteer and the innkeeper should not appear beating don Quixote, but Sancho and Maritornes, and there should not be a second female figure. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, full of life; also the setting, based on real places from La Mancha. 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); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
