About this work

This etching shows a chaotic scene at night. A group of people—some on horseback, others on foot—are dragging a wounded man along the ground. One rider holds the man’s arm, while others watch or struggle nearby. A small building with a lighted window stands in the background, and the whole scene is dark and rough-looking. The artist used sharp lines and shadowy tones to make the scene feel urgent and messy. The title, *Ni por esas* (Neither Do These), hints at something left undone or unfinished. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Goya created these detailed prints.
