A monkey strums the guitar before a donkey that listens with pleasure while two figures applaud behind him. Goya attacks ignorant criticism and self-interested applause: the one who judges knows nothing of music and the one who praises does so out of flattery. The caption keeps Goya's own spelling, «Brabisimo!».
