Commentary Sancho tells the Duchess the truth about Dulcinea's enchantment; also in the scene, some maidens and dueñas (doña Rodríguez).
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed and carefully-drawn figures and setting; good composition too.
Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast.
His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching; perfect use of shading. 
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.
