FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA Mala Noche.
Aquatint and etching on cream laid paper, circa 1799. 217x150 mm; 8 1/2x6 inches, wide (full ?) margins. First edition. From Los Caprichos. A brilliant, richly-inked impression with the aquatint tones distinct and the burnished highlights on the figures contrasting sharply with the dark background, and with crisp, partially inky plate edges, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Delteil 73; Harris 71.
