Description

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, 
Spanish 1746-1828- 

Mucho hay que chupar (There is plenty to suck): Plate 45 from 'Los Caprichos'; 

etching with burnished aquatint, drypoint and engraving, on laid paper, a fine impression from the First Edition, published by the artist, Madrid, 1799, numbered '45' (within the plate, upper right), 20.5 x 15 cm. (unframed/mounted). 

Provenance: 
'The Sleep of Reason: Francisco Goya's Los Caprichos', Christie's, New York, 23 October 2020, lot 45. 

Exhibited: 
Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Various locations, 2005-2016. 

Note: 
The Metropolitan Museum in New York describes how 'the figures in this print have been identified as witches or furies, although the caption suggests that they are vampires. Two take snuff from a box; the third figure and two large bats peer from the background. In the foreground is a basket full of dead babies. This plate is one of several in which Goya’s depiction of witches, goblins, and other such creatures alludes to superstitions and fallacies embraced by the uneducated—a susceptibility derided by intellectuals of the time. The use of snuff in Goya’s depiction indicates that his vampires have just eaten, because it was often taken after meals to aid digestion.'
