| Commentary | Sancho knelt before the Duchess, on horseback and holding a hawk, asking for her permission to let don Quixote meet her.
Well-known scene, but now the composition is quite original; the main scene is in the background, almost secondary, while several servants and the Duke appear in the foreground; remarkable and detailed figures. Vierge's style is masterly; his short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. |
