Ruega por ella. (She prays for her.) Aquatint. D 68. Harris 66 III/1 (of 12). 18,1:12,7 cm.
Plate 31 from Goya's famous satirical series "Caprichos".
Goya maliciously derides human weaknesses and the deplorable social, ecclesiastical and political conditions of the time. Related
to the earlier Capricci by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Goya╒s depicting of contemporary life is, however, radically different.
Excellent impression from the first and only contemporary edition from 1799, with the aquatint in subtle contrasts
