| Commentary | The Duchess' maidens soaping don Quixote's beard and hair.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed and very remarkable figures and setting; see the maidens, their dresses, don Quixote's gesture and expression... 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. |
