Commentary | Sancho whipping himself among some trees while don Quixote counts the lashes with his rosary.
Vierge's style is masterly; detailed and real figures (see Rocinante) and setting and excellent 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. |
