	Commentary	The bachelor Sansón Carrasco offers don Quixote to be his squire; also in the scene, Sancho, the housekeeper and the niece. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting and the composition, carefully-done. 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.
