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

Aquatint and etching printed in black on vellum, circa 1824. 245x355 mm; 9 5/8x14 inches, full margins. A proof, before the first published edition with the text lower center published by L'Art, Paris. A superb, richly-inked, early impression with all the subtle aquatint tones distinct and no sign of wear. According to Harris, trial proofs before the edition published by L'Art exist on both Japan paper and parchment and were likely post-humously printed prior to 1877. Delteil 220; Harris 266.
