FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA
El de la rollona.

Aquatint and etching, circa 1799. 205x159 mm; 8 1/8x6 1/4 inches, wide margins. First edition. From Los Caprichos. A brilliant, very early impression, with crisp, partially inky plate edges, with the delicately burnished aquatint on the figures and all the subtle tonal variations distinct, with very strong highlights and no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Delteil 41; Harris 39.
