"Perhaps they are of another breed" is a print from Francisco Goya's series *The Disasters of War*, depicting the horrors of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). This etching portrays a group of figures including a skeletal figure pointing toward a group of soldiers who appear to be indifferent to the suffering of the victims of war. The stark imagery and powerful composition effectively convey the devastating impact of war on individuals. The print is a reminder of Goya's profound critique of violence and the dehumanizing effects of conflict. *The Disasters of War* is considered a masterpiece of graphic art, known for its unflinching realism and powerful anti-war message.
