From LinkedCulture
A elegantly dressed woman soars through a murky, cloud-streaked sky, arms outstretched and skirts billowing, carried by three hunched, grimacing monsters beneath her. This is plate 61 from Francisco de Goya's Los Caprichos, an etching and aquatint made in Spain in 1799 and printed in a later edition around 1855. The series of 80 prints used dark humor and disturbing imagery to satirize the vanities and corruptions of Spanish society, disguising its sharp criticism just enough to survive censorship.

What the image shows
A woman in a flowing dress is depicted in mid-air, surrounded by three men who appear to be falling or being pushed down.
