Be Careful with that Step! 1816 - 1820

"Be Careful with that Step!" is a lithograph from Francisco Goya's series *Los Disparates*, created between 1816 and 1820. The image depicts a woman in an elaborate dress, precariously balancing on one foot with arms outstretched, likely depicting the foolishness of vanity. Goya's *Los Disparates* series captures the artist's later, more satirical style, characterized by expressive lines and dark humor, reflecting his disillusionment with society. The Art Institute of Chicago holds this small yet impactful print, offering a glimpse into Goya's unique artistic voice.
