Commentary | At Juan Palomeque's inn, Sancho, knelt before don Quixote, asks for his forgiveness after having said that Micomicona (Dorotea) is not a real princess.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; both figures are remarkable, but don Quixote's is especially good. Notice 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. |
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. |
