| Commentary | Don Quixote, taking the priest for the princess Micomicona, kneels before him after his adventure with the giant (wineskins).
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; notice the priest, serious, and the contrast with don Quixote, comical. Notice also 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. |
