Daumier was a master printmaker whose etchings and lithographs share Goya's dark monochrome palette and profound concern for human suffering and social injustice. His deeply expressive figural compositions carry the same melancholic weight and Romantic sensibility visible in this haunting image of captivity.

Piranesi's celebrated Carceri series of etchings explores themes of imprisonment and psychological confinement with the same dark, brooding intensity found in this portrait of a little prisoner. His masterful intaglio technique produces deep shadows and dramatic contrasts that closely parallel Goya's etching and engraving approach.

Kollwitz devoted her printmaking career to depicting human suffering, captivity, and grief through stark monochrome etchings and engravings that carry immense emotional and melancholic power. Her deeply humanistic figural prints share Goya's Romantic preoccupation with vulnerability and the psychological weight of confinement.
