This print is a combination of etching and aquatint. The Blockhead depicts a giant figure dancing wildly with castanets in each hand. Two fearful-looking heads emerge from either side of the giant while to the left is a half-crouching man against whom leans a wooden-looking swooning female figure. Part of the Disparates series, executed between 1810 1nd 1819, although they were not publicly published as a series until 1864, thirty-six years after Goya's death.

Number 4 of 22.
