| Commentary | Don Quixote surprised by a flock of birds (and bats) at the mouth of Montesinos' cave; Sancho and the bachelor's cousin hold the rope to which don Quixote is tied.
Well-known scene, but resolved with Vierge's masterly style; well-resolved action and movement. 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. |
