"Caprichos: Plate 7, Ni Asi La Distinque" is one of the 80 etchings that comprise "Los Caprichos," a series created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1797 and 1798. This series is renowned for its satirical and often darkly humorous critique of contemporary Spanish society, addressing themes such as superstition, ignorance, and the abuses of power. "Ni Asi La Distinque," which translates to "Nor does she distinguish herself," is emblematic of Goya's incisive commentary on the social mores and human follies of his time.

In Plate 7, Goya employs his mastery of etching and aquatint to depict a scene that is both visually striking and rich in symbolic meaning. The image portrays a woman, possibly a maja (a term for a lower-class woman known for her flamboyant dress and manners), who is elaborately dressed but whose true nature or identity remains indistinguishable despite her outward appearance. This ambiguity is central to the work's critique, suggesting that external appearances can be deceptive and that societal distinctions based on such appearances are ultimately superficial.

The "Los Caprichos" series was groundbreaking in its use of art as a vehicle for social and political commentary. Goya's work in this series reflects his disillusionment with the Enlightenment ideals that had promised progress and rationality but had often resulted in hypocrisy and moral decay. The etchings were initially published in 1799, but due to their controversial nature, Goya withdrew them from public sale shortly after their release. Despite this, "Los Caprichos" has since been recognized as a seminal work in the history of art, illustrating Goya's profound impact on the development of modern visual culture.

"Ni Asi La Distinque" stands out within the series for its nuanced exploration of identity and societal perception. Through his deft use of light and shadow, Goya creates a haunting atmosphere that underscores the enigmatic quality of the figure. The work invites viewers to question the reliability of their perceptions and to consider the deeper truths that lie beneath the surface of social conventions.
