La seguridad de un reo no exige tormento (The Custody of a Criminal Does Not Call for Torture is a 1810 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a man in a white shirt and pants, with his arms raised above his head and his wrists bound by metal cuffs. He appears to be in a state of distress or discomfort. In the background, a dark wall with a grid pattern is visible, adding to the sense of confinement and tension. The overall mood of the image is one of anxiety and unease. The use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of drama and intensity, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure. For more on the artist who created this work, look up Goya, Francisco.
