	Commentary	At Juan Palomeque's inn, the innkeeper, Sancho, the priest and others discover don Quixote, asleep, in shirt a with a night cap, attacking some wineskins with his sword. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting, carefully-done and based on real places from La Mancha. 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 (wine/blood). 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. 2 - "Otra escena, muy aporreada también por los ilustradores quijotescos de todos los tiempos, es la descomunal batalla con los odres de vino. Nadie, sin embargo, ha sabido dar a esta imagen el sabor y el brío de Urrabieta Vierge. [...] Vierge es también uno de los artistas que más originalidad y dinamismo han impreso a esta famosa escena" (Givanel 288-290).
