	Commentary	Sancho knelt before the Duchess, on horseback and holding a hawk, asking for her permission to let don Quixote meet her. Well-known scene, but now the composition is quite original; the main scene is in the background, almost secondary, while several servants and the Duke appear in the foreground; remarkable and detailed figures. 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.
