Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828) And They Still Won’t Leave! (Plate 59 of *Los Caprichos*). 1799. Etching, aquatint, burnisher, and burin. 150 x 210 [220 x 323 mm]. Delteil 96; Harris 94. A very fine print on coarse-grained cream laid paper, likely a proof predating the first edition, before the bevels were added; the aquatint is very subtle; a few ink-stained scratches to the left of the number and along the edges of the copper plate. Slight sepia-colored moisture stains around the plate edge in the margins (possibly caused by a drainage issue during the print run). Full margins. AABM stamp (Lugt 3075).
