| Commentary | Don Quixote, Sancho and Rocinante lying on the ground after having been beaten by the yangüeses; Sancho's donkey in the background.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, suggesting the humour of Cervantes' text; notice don Quixote's figure. Notice also the perfect use of shading. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. |
