| Commentary | Don Quixote playing the lute and singing a song about his love for Dulcinea; in the garden, the Duke and the Duchess or Altisidora or other figures listening.
Vierge's style is masterly; very remarkable image of don Quixote; notice the expression of his face. 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. |
