There are two known states of this print. The first is an etching produced in three stages. The lightly sketched areas have been rendered using the drypoint technique. Nogués did not use drypoint in the second state and completed the print by etching the plate in three stages. A work based on his caricatures, or “ninots”, which reveals his trademark mocking, comical tone.
