| Commentary | Don Quixote returns to his house taken by Pedro Alonso on his donkey; Rocinante follows them carrying don Quixote's arms.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, but also comical, notice don Quixote; also the setting, carefully-done and based on real places from La Mancha. Notice also the perfect 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. |
