Where Is Mama Going? After Goya’s Capricho 65
A heavy female figure is carried through the air by grotesque companions while a cat raises a parasol above the company. The composition reproduces Goya’s Donde vá mamá?, or Where Is Mama Going?, number 65 of Los Caprichos. Magica Sexualis gives it the caption En Route for the Hex Conclave. The later caption changes the emphasis, while the strange airborne procession remains Goya’s satirical invention.
