Det værste er, at man må tigge (55) 1810 - 1820

"Det værste er, at man må tigge (55)" is an etching from Francisco Goya's series "Los Caprichos" (1799). The artwork, created between 1810 and 1820, depicts a scene of poverty and desperation. A group of figures huddle around a deceased person lying on the ground. The central figure appears to be begging, highlighting the harsh reality of the time. This print is a powerful commentary on the social conditions of Spain, criticizing the societal structures that contribute to poverty and suffering. The etching's stark realism and dark subject matter are characteristic of Goya's style.
