Commentary | Sancho fighting with and defeating don Quixote becuase the knight had tried to whip him while he was asleep.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures, with good gestures and expressions (see don Quixote) and setting, with excellent 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. |
