He who does not like thee will defame thee in jest, plate 17 from Los Proverbios

Prints and Drawings

1815/24

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes
Spanish, 1746-1828

A figure with a frog-like face sits at center of this print with hands folded in prayer and eyes closed. From underneath the figure, a small dog – a symbol of loyalty- barks at the encircling crowd that points and jeers. Like all of Goya’s prints in this series, this etching’s moral lesson is tinged with both absurdity and dread.
