Francisco Goya used caricature in a satirical manner to exaggerate and distort the physical features of the figures in "Contemptuous of the Insults." Through caricature, Goya aimed to emphasize certain characteristics and personality traits of the individuals he depicted. This technique allowed him to create a sense of mockery or ridicule towards his subjects, highlighting their arrogance or contempt towards insults. Caricature also added a sense of humor to the artwork, making it visually engaging and entertaining for the viewer.
