	Commentary	Don Quixote dead in his bed, with a crucifix on his chest (sane and christian death), surrounded by the housekeeper, Sansón Carrasco, the barber, the priest, Sancho and the niece. Vierge's style is masterly; detailed and well-drawn figures and setting and good composition. Remarkable use of light and shadow, shading and halftones. 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.
