介绍（中）	这是戈雅最早的版画之一，是他在探索这项技术时制作的。它显示了一名男子被绞死，绞死是西班牙的标准平民处决方法，有几种方法。这里描绘的是囚犯坐在凳子上，背对柱子，手腕被绑着，脖子上挂着一个铰链铁项圈。对于印刷品来说，这是一个奇怪的主题，也许是针对司法虐待，很难猜测戈雅预计会有什么样的观众。戈雅可能并不打算广泛发行，因为这本书是在他刚开始做版画家并探索他个人感兴趣的主题时制作的。戈雅对这种处决方法的坚定描述预示着他在三十多年后的1810年开始的《战争灾难》中对冲突的残酷坦率的描述。这种用蓝色墨水印刷的蚀刻是一种独特的工作证明。基调赋予作品一种诡异的感觉，暗示着室内的夜间环境。
介绍（英）	This is one of Goya's earliest etchings, made when he was exploring the technique. It shows a man being killed by a garrotte, the standard civilian method of execution in Spain of which there were several methods. That depicted here shows the prisoner sat on a stool with his back to the post, wrists bound and a hinged iron collar closed around his neck. It is a strange subject for a print, perhaps addressing judicial abuse and it is hard to guess what sort of audience Goya anticipated. Goya might not have intended it for wide distribution as it was made when he was beginning as a printmaker and exploring subjects that interested him personally. Goya’s unflinching depiction of this method of execution anticipates his brutally frank representation of conflict in the 'Disasters of War' began over thirty years later, in 1810. This etching, printed in blue ink is a unique working proof. The tone imparts an eerie sense to the composition, suggesting an interior nocturnal setting.
