FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA
Bien tirada está.

Aqautint and etching, circa 1799. 215x145 mm; 8 1/2x5 3/4 inches, full margins. First edition. From Los Caprichos. A very good, early impression, with the coarse grain aquatint contrasted strongly with the highlights on the figures.

Goya commented on this image, "Oh! The bawdy old woman is no fool! She knows quite well what is wanted, and that the stockings must fit tightly." Delteil 54; Harris 52.
