Description
Plate No. 41 from the series Los Caprichos (The Caprices). Goya lampoons his own profession of portrait painting. He depicts himself as a monkey and his aristocratic sitter as an ass. Motivated by vanity, most sitters expect the artist to flatter them, if not by ennobling their mien, then by bestowing noble qualities, such as erudition or courage, through the inclusion of symbols. While Goya was one of the least flattering of portraitists, the monkey here paints an image that bears only a superficial resemblance to the sitter.
