Commentary | Camila, after tracing a line on the floor with her dagger, threatens Lotario to stab herself if he crosses the line.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; remarkable and detailed figures, notice Lotario's expression and gesture, and setting. Notice 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. |
