"Fine Advice" by Francisco Goya is a satirical print from "Los Caprichos", critiquing Spanish society. The etching depicts two women, one young and one old, in a scene that comments on vanity and social interactions.
Francisco Goya's "Fine Advice" (Bellos consejos) is plate 15 from his series "Los Caprichos", created in 1799. This series comprises 80 prints that critique the social and political issues of late 18th-century Spain. Goya used the aquatint technique to achieve tonal gradations, enhancing the dramatic effect of the scenes. The prints were offered for sale as a bound album and individually. Goya advertised them in the Diario de Madrid, but withdrew them from sale shortly after due to fear of the Inquisition. The set was later acquired by the Calcografía Nacional in 1803. In "Fine Advice", two women are depicted seated on chairs. One is young and fashionably dressed, while the other appears older and possibly disfigured. The older woman seems to be whispering into the younger woman's ear, possibly offering advice. The scene is rendered in stark black and white, typical of Goya's printmaking style, which adds to the work's unsettling atmosphere. The background is dark and undefined, focusing attention on the figures and their interaction. The print is a commentary on vanity, aging, and the superficiality of social interactions.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
