Ya tienen asiento. 1796 - 1797

"Ya tienen asiento" (They Already Have a Seat) is an etching from Francisco de Goya's renowned series "Los Caprichos" (The Caprices). Created between 1796 and 1797, this satirical print highlights Goya's keen observation of societal follies. The artwork depicts three figures, including a woman whose head is covered by a chair, suggesting a critical commentary on the absurdity of social conventions and the superficiality of appearances during the late 18th century. This etching, like many others in the series, utilizes dark humor and grotesque imagery to expose hypocrisy and folly, making it a powerful and timeless social commentary.
