"Caprichos - Plate 27: Which of them is More Overcome?" is a renowned etching by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, part of his famous series "Los Caprichos." Created between 1797 and 1798, "Los Caprichos" is a set of 80 prints that showcase Goya's critical perspective on the social, political, and religious customs of his time. Plate 27, also known by its Spanish title "¿Quién más rendido?", depicts a scene that satirizes the excesses of contemporary social behavior, particularly the themes of drunkenness and moral decay.

In this etching, Goya portrays two figures, typically interpreted as a young woman and an older man, both slumped over in a state of inebriation. The ambiguity in the title, "Which of them is More Overcome?", suggests a comparison between the two subjects, inviting viewers to contemplate who is more morally or physically debilitated by their indulgence. The work is emblematic of Goya's skillful use of aquatint and etching to create rich tonal contrasts and textures, which enhance the dramatic and satirical effect of the image.

As with many of Goya's works in "Los Caprichos," Plate 27 employs dark humor and allegory to critique the vices and follies of Spanish society at the end of the 18th century. The series as a whole is considered a precursor to the Romantic movement and has been influential in the development of modern satirical illustration. "Which of them is More Overcome?" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its insightful commentary on human nature, and it remains a subject of study for scholars interested in Goya's work and the social context of the period.
