Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures and accurate scene.
Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast.
His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching.

| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho get in a boat in river Ebro, leaving Rocinante and the donkey on the bank; the donkey braying and Rocinante struggling to unloose itself.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures and accurate scene. 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. |
