| Commentary | Don Quixote encounters a labourer, Juan Haldudo, whipping a youth tied to a tree (Andrés).
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; notice their gestures, specially Andres'. 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. |
| 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. |
