Neither More Nor Less, Plate 41 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, depicting Donkey, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows an old man in rags holding a small sign that reads “Ni más ni menos.” His face is lined deep with age and hardship. The background is plain white, so all focus stays on him and the sign. Goya made this during a time when Spain was struggling. He often used his art to show the suffering of ordinary people. This print is part of a series that questions social inequality. Try looking up the etching “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters” by Francisco de Goya (Spanish, 1746–1828).
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
