| Commentary | Don Quixote's encounter with the Knight of the White Moon (Sansón Carrasco) on the beach of Barcelona; in the background Sancho with his donkey.
Vierge's has prefered to represent this previous moment, he has not represented don Quixote defeated. Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures and good setting. 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. |
