Edition of 12. Plate 37 from the series The Caprichos. Inscribed in the plate top right: ’37’; inscribed in the plate lower center: ‘Does the pupil know more?’. Numbered, signed, and dated in pencil.

The Caprichos, by Emily Lombardo, is a series of etchings which are in direct conversation and homage to Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos, 1799. Both reveal the dark underbelly of cultural movements which ultimately serve to divide society across economic, racial, political, religious, and gender lines. Lombardo brings these issues into contemporary light through a queer feminist lens.
