Plate 28 from Los Caprichos - Hush (Chiton. ), 1799. A Satirical Masterpiece by Francisco Goya
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white etching, Francisco Goya transports us to the vibrant world of his iconic series, Los Caprichos. Plate 28, titled "Hush (Chiton. )", offers a thought-provoking commentary on foolishness and religious hypocrisy in eighteenth-century Spain. The image depicts an elderly woman deep in prayer, clutching her rosary beads with fervor.
