| Commentary | Don Quixote, on Rocinante, charges against the penitents of a procession carrying an image of the Virgin Mary; one of the penitents is ready to receive him with a wooden fork; in the background, the priest, Sancho, and others.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; scene resolved with remarkable realism. 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. |
