Plate 52 from Los Caprichos - What a tailor can do! (Lo que puede un Sastre!), 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Francisco Goya, titled "What a tailor can do!", takes us back to the whimsical world of 18th-century Spain. In this satirical piece from his renowned series Los Caprichos, Goya masterfully combines elements of nature, religion, and human folly. The scene unfolds in a picturesque countryside where a foolish woman kneels in prayer before an eerie tree. With her dress flowing around her and hands clasped tightly, she appears vulnerable yet determined. The woman's occupation as a tailor is symbolically represented by the monstrous creature lurking behind her – an embodiment of the mischief that tailors were believed to possess during that time. Goya's sharp wit shines through as he critiques society's blind faith in witchcraft and superstition. Through this clever satire, he questions the power we attribute to certain professions or beliefs. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage art collection, this print showcases Goya's exceptional talent for capturing both physical details and abstract concepts. His intricate etching technique brings life to every line and shadow on the page. "What a tailor can do!" invites viewers into Goya's imaginative realm while encouraging them to reflect on societal norms and our own capacity for foolishness.
