拍品专文

Prado manuscript: ‘The print shows that these are two witches of means and authority who have gone out to do a little exercise on horseback.’

Biblioteca Nacional manuscript: ‘Only monstrosities are visible in the world: two fierce monsters bear people on their backs: one acts brave but is a thief, and the other is fanatical, but savage. Such are the Rulers and Leading Magistrates of the people; and yet they are called from afar, acclaimed and entrusted with the power to govern.’

‘The two riding monsters are veiled references to Kings and Principal Magistrates of cities. Being close to the court Goya makes sure not to be too specific.’

Johnson, R.F: explanatory text for a travelling exhibition of this set.
