Der Schlaf der Vernunft gebiert Ungeheuer

Francisco de Goya, veröffentlicht 1799

This print shows a man resting his head on his folded arms on top of a desk, which is in the bottom left corner. Under his head, papers rest on the desk next to a few writing implements. The man is dressed in a light-colored garment with loose sleeves and light breeches, and he has short, dark hair. Surrounding him are owls and bats, some resting on him or near him, and some flying in the air above him. A large cat-like animal sits in the bottom right corner, looking towards the man. The background is gray with small white dots, and there are words written in white on the light gray desk.
