El De La Rollona (Nanny's Boy) is a painting by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created around 1797-1798. This work is part of Goya's series of small cabinet paintings, known as "Caprichos," which delve into the social, political, and cultural issues of his time through satirical and often darkly humorous imagery. The painting is executed in oil on tinplate, a medium that Goya occasionally used for its smooth surface and durability.

El De La Rollona depicts a grotesque and somewhat unsettling scene, characteristic of Goya's later works that explore the darker aspects of human nature and society. The central figure is a corpulent, monstrous woman, presumably the "nanny" referenced in the title, who holds a child in her arms. The exaggerated features and unsettling demeanor of the nanny suggest a critique of the care and upbringing of children, possibly alluding to the neglect or moral corruption that Goya perceived in contemporary society.

The painting is imbued with Goya's signature style, marked by bold brushstrokes, dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, and a keen attention to the psychological depth of his subjects. The grotesque nature of the figures in El De La Rollona aligns with the themes of other works in the "Caprichos" series, which often feature fantastical and nightmarish elements to convey moral and social commentary.

Goya's "Caprichos" series, including El De La Rollona, was initially published as a set of 80 etchings in 1799. These works were intended to critique the follies and vices of Spanish society, including superstition, ignorance, and the abuses of power. El De La Rollona, like many of Goya's works, remains a powerful and thought-provoking piece that continues to resonate with audiences today for its bold artistic expression and incisive social critique.
