| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho amazed by Countess Trifaldi's dueñas, all lifting their veils and showing the beards; the Duke and the Duchess observe them amused.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures with good gestures and expressions; notice the contrast between the figures in the foreground, well-drawn, and the dueñas in the background, almost like ghosts. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. |
