FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA
Tras el Vicio viene el Fornicio.

Etching and aquatint, circa 1824. 245x350 mm; 9 5/8x13 7/8 inches, wide margins. Second or third edition. From Los Proverbios. A very good, dark impression.

Goya's title translates to: "After vice comes fornication." He based the image on the proverb: "Vice is a monster of so hideous a mien, that to be hated needs but to be seen." Delteil 205; Harris 251.
