About the Item
"Nohubo remedio" (There was no remedy) - Etching and Aquatint on Paper
Bold 3rd or 4th edition, circa 1868-1878, with burnished aquatints, drypoints etching, and engravings by Franciso de Goya (Spanish, 1746-1828). Fine impression in dark umber ink on wove paper. A woman is dressed in a tall pointed cap, with her arms and neck bound in some kind of restraint, riding a donkey through a crowd. The people in the crowd bear sinister and grimaced expressions. Behind the captured woman, two officials in ornate hats and wigs ride horses and hold whips. Titled "Nohubo remedio" at the bottom, meaning "there was no remedy" or "nothing could be done about it." Numbered "24" in the upper right corner, just inside the plate. This piece is a critique of the Inquisition - this victim had no chance for justice as they were swept up in the superstition and ignorance of the times.
The third edition was made by the Calcografia Nacional as well, and the complete set is made up of 80 original etchings with burnished aquatints, drypoints, and engravings on woven paper, and was published in 1868. This edition is very well-printed on a strong absorbent paper that is similar to that of the second edition. All the sheets are numbered on the upper part and titled on the lower central margin. The sheets are bound along the left edge, in yellow pasteboard covers on which 'Caprichos de Goya-Coleccion de ochenta estampas grabadas al agua fuerte con aguadas de resina por el mismo' is printed. The sheets measure 310 x 230 mm; a dark umber ink was used for the whole series.
The fourth edition is a very limited edition of prints, only 65, published in 1878 ca. by the Calcografia Nacional. This edition again presents the same paper, ink, and cover as those of the third edition.

- Study of Six Heads - Etching by J.-J. BoissieuBy Jean-Jacques de BoissieuLocated in Roma, ITStudy of Six Heads is a beautiful black and white etching with drypoint interventions on paper, realized at the end of XVIII century by the French artist Jean-Jacques de Boissieu (Lyon, 1736- 1810). Six study od heads ( four elder men, a middle-aged man at the center, and a woman with turbant) etched with a superb technique and an incredible draftsmanship are drawn to different scales and with different degrees of finish, have the dignity of six different portraits with the same passion and effort. Signed on plate on lower right margin “De Boissieu”. Inscription ( number plate) on higher-right corner "10". This old master’s original print with lifetime impressions, is in very good conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper above all on the edges and some signs of the time,do not affect the image. Jean-Jacques de Boissieu (Lyon,1736 –1810) Jean-Jacques de Boissieu was a French artist studied at the École de Dessin in Lyon, but he was mostly self-taught. His first prints were realized between 1758–64. When he went to Italy in the retinue of the ambassador and Duc de la Rochefoucauld d’Enville, he had the lifechanging encounter: he met Voltaire and he entered in the world of luminaries, he had the opportunity of realizing some plates for the Diderot-d’Alembert’s Encyclopèdie.

- Study of Five Heads - Original Etching by J.-J. BoissieuBy Jean-Jacques de BoissieuLocated in Roma, ITStudy of Five Heads is a beautiful black and white etching with drypoint interventions on paper, realized at the end of XVIII century by the French artist Jean-Jacques de Boissieu (Lyon, 1736- 1810). Five study of heads of which two profiles (a female and a male) are lightly sketched with the drypoint technique, and we could appreciate the incredible draftsmanship. Instead, the bigger three portraits are very detailed and etched with a superb technique. Although the subjects are drawn in different scales and with different degrees of finish, each portrait has the dignity of a unique piece and the composition is very balanced. In particular on the lower margin at the center there is the portrait of "Le Père Cotrot, Garçon Teinturier à Lyon'", an elderly man, toothless and with a large-nosed, slightly turned to left, with a hat and unbuttoned jacket over waistcoat, shows all his wrinkles in a very realistic way. Signed on plate on lower right margin “De Boissieu”. This old master’s original print with fresh impressions, is in very good conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper above all on the edges and some signs of the time and light foxing along the margins, do not affect the image.
