	Commentary	Scene from Dorotea's story as told by herself to the priest, the barber and Cardenio in Sierra Morena: don Fernando promises to marry her using an image of the Virgin Mary as a witness. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, full of life; also the setting, carefully-done. 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.
