Commentary Reference to the dialogue between Maritornes and the priest about chivalry books; Maritornes refers to this romantic scene.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; detailed scene in keeping with 19th century romantic tradition.
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.
