From LinkedCulture

A donkey in a doctor's robe bends over a dying patient, pressing a hoof to the sick man's wrist as if taking a pulse. This etching and aquatint is plate 40 of Francisco de Goya's Los Caprichos, made between 1797 and 1799 in Spain. The caption below reads "Of what illness will he die?" - and Goya's answer is clear. The donkey, his recurring symbol of ignorance, suggests the doctor himself is the greatest danger in the room.
