Obsequio á el maestro, plate 47 from: Los Caprichos
etching with burnished aquatint and engraving
1797-98

a superb, early, undescribed trial proof, with the title and plate number but before the burnishing of the doll or child
probably the earliest known impression of this plate, possibly unique, before the edition published by the artist in 1799
printing sharply, with brilliant highlights and considerable inky relief
the accidental scratch on the sleeve of the foremost figure and the text guidelines very distinct
trimmed inside the platemark but retaining a blank border outside the image
in good condition
