Commentary | Arrival of Trifaldin (giant, white bearded and holding a scimitar) before the Duke and the Duchess; three musicians, playing a fife and drums, follow him.
Original composition where the main scene has been placed in the background, while two very detailed figures (a maiden and a servant) occupy the foreground. Vierge's style is masterly; detailed and carefully-drawn figures and setting. 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. |
