	Commentary	Don Quixote and Sancho knelt before three peasant girls on donkeys; Sancho introduces one of them to don Quixote as the "enchanted" Dulcinea. Well-known scene but resolved with certain novelty in the composition and with Vierge's masterly style; his figures are detailed and real, full of life. 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.
