Historia

See Sad presentiments of what must come to pass.

The second state proof for this print features some retouching in burin on the heads and in the foreground.

The title was handwritten by Goya on the first and only print run that we know to have been made at the time, and which the painter gave to his friend Agustín Ceán Bermúdez. The title was engraved on to the copperplate at a later date, and no other modifications were made to the image for the first edition of the Disasters of War, which was printed by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Madrid, in 1863.

No preparatory drawings for this print have been conserved.

Análisis artístico

In this print Goya has captured the moment when several French soldiers are attacking and attempting to rape a group of women. The different bodies twist and tangle together, creating a shapeless mass in which it is difficult to distinguish individual figures.

The Aragonese artist has situated the scene in an outdoor setting, at night. Both the background and the clothes of the male figures have been built up using parallel etched lines packed very closely together. The women, on the other hand, are dressed in white, perhaps in allusion to their innocence. In the foreground the artist has placed a female figure who is being violently seized by a soldier. Forced into an unnatural, contorted position, she lets out a cry of pain.

Not in this case either can be related to those prints in this same series that deal with violence committed upon women during wartime and, more specifically, to the previous print, no. 9, They do not want to and to the one that follows, no. 11, Or these. In these three images, Goya seems to have constructed a sense of continuity, further emphasized by the works' titles.

Conservación

The etching plate is conserved in the National Chalcography Museum (cat. 261)
