From LinkedCulture
At a Spanish carnival, nobody is who they appear to be, and Goya suggests they never were. This etching with aquatint, plate six of his Los Caprichos series made between 1797 and 1799, shows two masked majas in elegant dress while a grotesque hunched figure looms behind them and a skull-like face haunts the shadows below. Goya's real provocation is the title, "Nobody Knows Themselves," turning a festive scene into a sharp question about whether any face, masked or not, tells the truth.
