About this Item

[PRINTS]. Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828). "No Grites, Tonta. [Don't Scream, Stupid.] (Caprichos, Plate 74)." Madrid: Calcografia for the Real Academia, c.19th century. Following Harris, this print seems to be a seventh edition with black instead of blue ink, or perhaps a working proof. This is the case because the following characteristics do not line-up cleanly with Harris's notes on editions: 1. the paper is laid. 2. without watermarks. 3. the plate is unbevelled. 4. the ink is black. Burnished etched print with aquatint on thick white, or possibly cream, chain-laid paper with black ink. Image of a woman being surprised by hobgoblins, with satrical caption. Spanish language. Sheet: 12 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches. Plate: 8 3/4 x 6 inches. 1 oz. 2 pp. Minute tear at top edge of sheet reinforced with Japanese tissue. The sheet has rippling and foxing around the edges, but when framed this is not noticeable. It mostly affects the sheet around the image. Good to Fair. REFERENCES: Beruete y Moret 94. Delteil 111. Harris 109. Lefort and Hofmann 74. Loga 694. Mayer II.74. "Goya wrote of this Capricho, 'Poor Paquilla! She was looking for the footman and runs into the goblin, but don't be afraid: it's plain that Martinico is in a good mood and won't do her any harm.' A preparatory drawing of the print in red crayon is in the Prado, No. 78. The copperplate is in the Calcografia.". Seller Inventory # 0006131
