Pretty teacher 1799

"Pretty Teacher" is a print from Francisco Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, a collection of 80 prints created between 1797 and 1799. This particular print, number 63, features a grotesque image of an old woman flying on a broomstick with an owl soaring above her. The imagery, with its dark, fantastical themes, reflects Goya's criticism of social injustices and superstitious beliefs prevalent in Spanish society. The print exemplifies the artist's masterful use of etching and aquatint techniques, conveying a sense of unsettling darkness and satirical wit.
