"Who could believe it!" is a print from Francisco Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, which depicts the follies and vices of Spanish society. Created in 1799, this etching presents a nightmarish scene of two figures, one seemingly attempting to escape from the clutches of the other. The dark and shadowy atmosphere, combined with the contorted poses and expressions, reflects Goya's critical view of human nature and his interest in the darker side of the human experience. "Who could believe it!" is a powerful and unsettling image that captures the raw and disturbing reality of human interactions, making it a striking example of Goya's skill as a printmaker and social commentator.
