Comments

Original etching and aquatint on laid paper with full margins. Signed in lower left corner, inverted: “Goya.” An impression from the first edition. The eigth plate from the series of 33 etchings entitled “La Tauromaquia,” numbered in the plate upper right. The album of thirty-three aquatints was first published by Goya in a small edition in 1816. The timelessness of the artist’s imagery, however, is evidenced by the fact that there were six subsequent editions posthumously published by Calcografia in 1855, 1876, 1905, 1921, 1928 and 1937. Though the imagery remains uniquely Goya’s throughout these editions, Tomas Harris states in his 1964 catalogue raisonne of the artist’s prints: “lt is only in the extremely fine first edition of 1816 that the full qualities of all thirty-three plates can be appreciated.” Catalogue Reference: Delteil 231; Harris 211, plate 8
