4th edition
This is a 4th edition print from the Estate of Charles F. Ramus, Denver Colorado. mr. Ramus was a curator of prints and drawings at the Denver Museum and art history professor at the University of Denver. He dedicated over 40 years to collecting fine art prints and drawings with a focus on European artists to include Goya, Toulouse -Lautrec, Paul Gavarni and Odilon Redon to name a few.
In this print, Goya resumes his usual double attack against the aristocracy and the clergy. In the scene there are three characters, one with a broom, another that blows the bellows and another that washes the dishes. The characters have been interpreted as goblins, a misleading and ambiguous theme that is often used to satirize the easy life of the regular clergy.
