The print is part of the well-known Goya series containing 80 prints made between about 1795 and 1798, a sort of manifesto in which the artist declares his liberalism and his contempt for ignorance, through satirical images towards vices of the human being. It is a series full of caricatures and here it is that of the Vanity. Three young people laugh at an elderly woman who, sitting at the dressing table, gazes at herself in the mirror to adjust her hat, because “until death” it is worth getting dressed up.
