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

| Commentary | Very remarkable representation of this episode; resolved with excellent naturalism for the figures (notice their gestures, movement... see Sancho drowning), carefully-done composition and real setting.
Vierge's style is masterly; his short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. |
| 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. |
