The dark, shadowy background and exaggerated features contribute to the overall sense of fear and violence. The work is a poignant commentary on the horrors of war, a theme that Goya explored throughout his career. His use of etching allows for deep shadows and dramatic contrast, emphasizing the gruesome nature of the scene.
