"Kattepantomine (73)" is an etching by Francisco Goya, part of his iconic series *Los Caprichos*. Created between 1810-1820, this print depicts a cat, a woman and an owl with its wings spread wide. This work is an example of Goya's satirical and often dark style, with a focus on the absurdities of human behavior. It's likely a critique of superstition, religious fanaticism or the blindness of societal power. The etching's dramatic composition, use of chiaroscuro and the unsettling atmosphere created by the animal imagery are characteristic of Goya's style.
