FRANCISCO DE GOYA Y LUCIENTES (1746-1828)

The First Edition of this plate was printed in small numbers for the Academicians of San Fernando in 1958-59. The Second Edition was limited to 110 impressions and was printed for public distribution in 1959. Harris does not record any editions or proof impressions on wove paper, such as the present one. As an un-described proof, it does however share some characteristics of the Second Edition as described by Harris, with the plate not cleanly wiped but printed with a plate tone, and the sharp plate edges cutting into the paper.
