Historia
See Lady on a dark background.
This engraving was not printed in 1859 due to the poor condition of the plate, damaged by scratches and the bite of the aquatint, but it was printed in the 1954 edition.
Análisis artístico
The engraving shows a man wearing a cloak and hiding a shotgun underneath it.
Harris does not include it in his study of Goya's prints. Sayre interprets it as a criticism of greed and its consequences, and compares it to the Caprice Boys to the Greed, which deals with the issue of tobacco smuggling, which increased greatly in those years.
There is a related drawing included in Album H in the Prado Museum.
On the reverse of the plate is another very similar engraving, The Embossed Man, which is not considered to be the work of Goya.
