Etching of a nude, wild-haired man perched on a crouching figure in a landscape, with a sword-raising figure and a tree in the background.

A nude, wild-haired man is lifted atop a crouching figure on open ground, while a figure with a raised sword stands at right beside a tree. Fine etched lines and wash in brown ink, with the caption 'Esto es peor' beneath, mark this as plate 37 of Goya's Disasters of War.
