| Commentary | The bachelor Sansón Carrasco offers don Quixote to be his squire; also in the scene, Sancho, the housekeeper, and the niece.
Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real; also the setting and the composition, carefully-done. 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. |
