| Commentary | Don Quixote, on Rocinante, charging against Tosilos during their duel in the courtyard of the Duke's palace/castle; Tosilos, staying still, is looking towards doña Rodríguez' daughter.
In the background, a stage with the Duke and the Duchess. Very remarkable and elaborate composition and setting (the servants, trumpeters, horses, castle...). Vierge's style is masterly. Usual in his illustrations, some elements in black create 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. |
