FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA
Vieja Columpiándose.

Etching, circa 1824-28. 185x120 mm; 7 1/4x4 3/4 inches, full margins. Third state (of 4). Printed at the Calcografía, Madrid, for John Savile Lumley in 1859. A superb, richly-inked and early impression on heavy, laid paper, with little to no sign of wear.

According to Harris, the third state impressions of this subject and its companion (see lot 324) appear to have been very limited.

We have found only 9 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years. Delteil 26; Harris 33.
