FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA
Por que fue sensible.

Aquatint, circa 1799. 215x150 mm; 8 1/2x6 inches, full margins. First edition. From Los Caprichos. A superb, early impression with the two tones of aquatint--one lighter and one darker--distinct and brilliantly contrasted against the cream laid paper; extremely scarce in this early, lifetime issue.

We have found only 4 other lifetime impressions at auction in the past 30 years. Delteil 69; Harris 67.
