拍品专文

Set in a barber shop or possibly a brothel, a dolled-up young woman is giving a young man a shave, as he looks up at her with naive desire. He is smitten, while she - as the title suggests - is only after his money. Le descañona, written here by the artist's hand and slightly misspelled (with the tilde on the second n), translates as 'She fleeces him'.
The present impression is probably unique and the earliest known example of this print, before the engraved title. This plate is known for the variety of aquatint tones, and the precise tonal definition on this brilliant sheet is astonishing.
