	Commentary	Don Quixote arrives at don Diego de Miranda's house, where they meet don Diego's wife, doña Cristina, and his son, don Lorenzo. Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting; see the "tobosescas tinajas" (Tobosian tuns). 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. 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.
