Commentary | Don Quixote staying still ready to fight with a lion, but the animal remains into its cage although the lionkeeper has opened it.
Well-known scene and composition. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real. Notice 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. |
