Plate 16 from Los Caprichos

Artist: Francisco Jose de Goya
Artwork: Plate 16 from Los Caprichos
Description: This is a satirical etching from Goya’s Los Caprichos series, published in 1799. The image depicts two ragged street musicians, one playing a guitar and the other a tambourine. The musicians are depicted as monkeys, which was a common way to represent people of lower social status in Goya’s time. The print’s title, “Pobrecitos,” means “poor people” in Spanish, and the image conveys a sense of sympathy for the musicians’ plight.
