| Commentary | At Juan Palomeque's inn, the innkeeper, Sancho, the priest, and others discover don Quixote, asleep, in shirt a with a night cap, attacking some wineskins with his sword.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting, carefully-done and based on real places from La Mancha. 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 (wine/blood). His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. |
