	Commentary	Don Quixote defeats the Knight of the Mirrors (Sansón Carrasco); his squire (Tomé Cecial with a fake big nose) runs to help him while Sancho observes the scene from the top of a tree. Well-known scene, but resolved with Vierge's masterly style; notice the movement of the figures and their gestures. Notice also 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.
