FRANCISCO JOSÉ DE GOYA Dios los Cria y Ellos se Juntan.
Aquatint and etching, circa 1824. 245x350 mm; 9¾x13¾ inches, wide margins. First edition, before the number. From Los Proverbios. A superb, dark and richly-inked impression of this densely-etched composition, with little to no sign of wear, and with each of the individual figures and entire composition distinct, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject.
Harris notes that this plate deteriorates considerably even in the first edition. However, the current impression is before any wear, similar to the impression sold at Swann Auction Galleries, October 29, 2014, sale 2363, lot 234. Delteil 219; Harris 265.
