| Commentary | After being informed by Sancho that Micomicona is not a real princess but only a maiden (Dorotea), don Quixote orders Sancho to give him his armour.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; very remarkable image of don Quixote; also the setting, carefully-done. Notice the perfect use of 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. |
