'Is this your Excellency?, 1799. 'Is this your excellency?..well, as I say, eh!', Look out!, plate 76 of 'Los caprichos'. Los Caprichos were published in 1799 at a time of social repression and economic crisis in Spain. The series is evidence of the artist's political liberalism and revulsion towards ignorance and intellectual oppression.
