OBSEQUIO a la MAESTRO

FRANCISCO de  GOYA y LUCIENTES  (1746 -1828)

OBSEQUIO á el MAESTRO (‘A gift for the master’) Plate 47 from the 1^st edition of Los Caprichos (Blas, Matilla & Medrano 1999, no. 47; Harris 82.III.1) 

Etching and aquatint. 7 ¼ x 5”, sheet 12 x 8 ¾’. Very good impression with the aquatint shading in the figures printing well. Very good condition. The slight unevenness in lower right is the photo.

 Goya’s comment – “That is quite right; they would be ungrateful pupils not to visit their professor to whom they owe everything they know in their diabolical science.”
