| Commentary | During his night round in Barataria Island, governor Sancho, accompanied by his secretary, majordomo, soldiers and others, discovers two man duelling and he orders them to stop.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures and setting and excellent use of light and shadow, halftones 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. |
