Etching Los ensacados”Francisco Goya

Francisco Goya’s etching ’Los ensacados’ (1816–1823, published 1864) is part of his enigmatic ’Los Proverbios’ series, also known as ’Los Disparates.’ The artwork, 24.3 x 35.5 cm, depicts figures enveloped in sacks or cloaks against a shadowy backdrop. It explores themes of appearance versus reality, reflecting Goya’s late-career focus on human folly and hidden truths beneath surface appearances.
