	Commentary	Lotario pretends to be in love with a woman called Chloris and recites a sonnet composed for her before Anselmo and Camila. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, full of life; remarkable setting too. 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.
	Notes	1 - Vierge's original drawings (Chinese ink and wash) were reproduced by photogravure (notice the plate mark); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
