Ni mas ni menos (Neither More nor Less) is a 1799 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, depicting Donkey, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a donkey loaded with books and papers. It's trying to walk, but it's struggling. The donkey is wearing a fancy saddle and bridle. This image is interesting because it seems to be making a point about knowledge and wisdom. The donkey is burdened by all the books, suggesting that too much information can be overwhelming. To learn more, look up the technique: etching.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
