	Commentary	Accurate to Cervante's text, Vicente de los Rios singing his adventures at the foot of a popler and surrounded by his neighbors. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real, full of life; notice the variety of Spanish characters; also the setting, carefully-done. Notice also 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.
