Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; carefully-done setting based on real places from La Mancha.
Scene resolved with a good impressionist style; notice the perfect use of light and shadow, halftones and shading.

| Commentary | Don Quixote at the first inn ordering the innkeeper to take Rocinante to the stable; by the door, the two party girls.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; carefully-done setting based on real places from La Mancha. Scene resolved with a good impressionist style; notice the perfect use of light and shadow, halftones and shading. |
| 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. |
