Commentary | Arrival of Clavileño carried by four savages, clad all in green ivy; around them, the Duke, Duchess, maidens, dueñas and servants.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed figures and remarkable use of light and shadow and halftones. 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. |
