This print titled "Plate 49 from Los Caprichos: Hobgoblins (Duendecitos. ), 1799" takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing the genius of Francisco Goya. Known for his satirical and grotesque depictions, Goya's etching skillfully portrays a scene filled with foolishness and mythical creatures. In this artwork, we witness two friars indulging in their love for wine. Holding a glass of wine in one hand, they appear silly and oblivious to their surroundings. The concept of alcohol consumption is cleverly juxtaposed with the idea of religious devotion, challenging societal norms prevalent during that time.

It captures both his technical brilliance as an etcher and
