Commentary | Don Quixote, the Duke, the Duchess and their servants chasing a wild boar; meanwhile, Sancho falls from a tree and remains hanging from one of the branches.
Well-known scene with two different parts (dramatic/comical), but resolved with Vierge's masterly style; detailed and carefully-drawn figures and good composition. Perfect use of light and shadow and shading. 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. |
