Commentary | Don Quixote falling from Rocinante and Sancho from his donkey to the ground before the Duchess, on horseback and holding a hawk, and her servants.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures, with good movements, and carefully-done composition (diagonal, better depth). 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. |
