Ink on paper, framed, featuring a donkey and a man. Signed and attributed to Francisco Goya (Spanish, 1746-1828), on the lower right corner. 9.1 x 6.7 in. (23 x 17 cm). Goya occupies a unique position within the history of Western art, and is often cited as both an Old Master and the first truly modern artist. His art embodies Romanticism's emphasis on subjectivity, imagination, and emotion, characteristics reflected most notably in his prints and later private paintings. Goya's formal portraits of the Spanish Court are painted in a lavish virtuoso style, and highlight the wealth and power of the royal household. PROVENANCE: Southern Ontario estate
