Goya etching of a crowded scene with a man at a table, a dark horse head, and veiled women at right.

That is the worst of it! (Disasters of War, plate 74)

An etching of a crowded scene on bare ground: a man in a broad hat leans over a low table, a dark horse-like head rises beside him, and women in pale veils crouch and recline at the right. Fine hatching and open white areas give the plate a sketchy, dramatic tone, with the caption Esto es lo peor! below.
