Caprichos Plate 40, titled "Of What Ill Will He Die?" (¿De qué mal morirá?), is one of the 80 etchings that comprise the series "Los Caprichos" by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Created between 1797 and 1798 and published in 1799, "Los Caprichos" is a critical and satirical examination of the societal, political, and religious issues of late 18th-century Spain. Goya's work in this series is renowned for its innovative use of etching and aquatint techniques, as well as for its bold and often darkly humorous commentary on human nature and societal follies.

Plate 40, "Of What Ill Will He Die?", depicts a grotesque figure, possibly a doctor or a quack, examining a patient who appears to be in a state of distress or near death. The scene is imbued with a sense of morbidity and irony, reflecting Goya's skepticism towards the medical practices of his time and his broader critique of the ignorance and superstition that plagued society. The title itself is a rhetorical question that underscores the uncertainty and helplessness surrounding the patient's fate, suggesting that the true cause of death may be the incompetence or malevolence of those in positions of authority.

Goya's "Los Caprichos" series, including Plate 40, is celebrated for its incisive social commentary and its pioneering artistic techniques. The series was initially met with mixed reactions, as its biting satire and unflinching portrayal of human vice and folly challenged the conventions and sensibilities of the period. However, over time, "Los Caprichos" has come to be regarded as one of Goya's masterpieces and a seminal work in the history of Western art. The etchings continue to be studied and admired for their technical brilliance and their profound insights into the human condition.
