FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA
Dos a Uno, Meten la Paja en el Culo.

Aquatint and etching, circa 1824. 245x355 mm; 9 5/8x14 inches, full margins. First published edition. Published by L'Art, Paris. From Los Proverbios. A superb, dark impression.

Goya's title translates to: "If Two to One, Stuff Your Arse With Straw." The image shows a man turning away from two scarecrow-like figures in mock terror to amuse the crowd of onlookers near him. Delteil 220; Harris 266.
