Buen viage

1799

From Harris: Goya's commentary - Where is this infernal company going, filling the air with noise in the darkness of night? If it were daytime it would be quite a different matter and gun shots would bring the whole group of them to the ground; but as it is night, no one can see them.

Despacha, que dispiértan

1799

From Harris: Goya's commentary - The goblins are the most industrious and obliging people there are. As the maid keeps them happy, they scour the pot, cook the vegetables, wash up, sweep and hush the child. It has often been disputed whether they are devils or not; don't let us deceive ourselves. Devils are those who spend their time doing harm, or hindering others from doing good, or doing nothing at all.

Lo que puede un Sastre!

1799

From Harris: Goya's commentary - How often can some ridiculous creature he suddenly transformed into a presumptuous coxcomb who is nothing but appears to be much. That is what can be done by the ability of a tailor and the stupidity of those who judge things by their appearance.

No grites, tonta

1799

From Harris: Goya's commentary - Poor Paquilla! She is looking for the footman and runs into the goblin, but don't be afraid; it's plain that Martinico is in a good mood and won't do her any harm.
