| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho observe the galley slaves taking their chains off; two of them are undressing one of the defeated guards; Ginés de Pasamonte draws a musket against the guards running away in the background.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, full of life. The figure of the naked guard is remarkable, although not accurate. 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. |
