They are getting drunk; folio 67 (recto) from the Madrid Album "B"

Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) Spanish

Not on view

Three debauched women are shown drinking wine, while a fourth reaches for the bottle and, in a drunken gesture, brings her face close to the central figure, perhaps sharing a joke or aping intimacy. The drawing on the other side of the page (35.103.10) provided the basis for plate 33 of the Caprichos. The inscription announces its subject as deception, and the drawing shows a quack dentist pulling teeth. Quackery was such a problem in Madrid during the 1790s that measures were taken to weed out fake practitioners.
