| Commentary | Well-known image of don Quixote returning home "enchanted" into a cage on an ox cart, led by the carter, escorted by some officers of the Holy Brotherhood and followed by Sancho, the priest, and the barber.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real. 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. |
