Old Man Straying Among Phantoms
Le viellard errant parmi les fantomes

The title "Young Woman on a Bucking Horse " comes from Loys Delteil, the editor of the French L’Estampe Moderne and the writer of several books on French artists from the late 1800s - early 1900s. There is not a known Spanish title from Goya for this image. Goya's skill as an etcher, already formidable, had become even more sophisticated. Some of his etchings were not even executed with a single stroke of a drawing needle, but instead were composed entirely of gradations of tone using the acid for burning the tones directly into the metal plate.
