Asker: Thank you for your help. Great references, although I chose a more 'everyday' term.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Deborah Lockett: I think it's best to put "costumbrist" and not try to explain it because Goya made it internationally known and in any case the context which follows explains it well
