Ni asi la distingue. 1796 - 1797

"Ni asi la distingue" (1796-1797) is one of the 80 etchings that make up Francisco Goya's series "Los Caprichos". This particular print depicts a woman examining a ring on her finger while a man whispers in her ear and a young girl sits in the background. Goya's "Caprichos" are known for their biting social commentary, and this print is likely a critique of the superficiality and hypocrisy of society. The etching's title translates to "Nor does she distinguish," suggesting that the woman is more concerned with appearances than with true love or virtue. This artwork is a powerful example of Goya's ability to capture the human condition with wit and insight.
