Aesop is a 1778 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a man standing in front of a tree, wearing a long robe and boots. He has short, curly hair and is looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. The background of the painting is a muted color, with the tree trunk visible behind the man. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it may be a representation of a historical or literary figure. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
