About this work

This sketch shows a group of three people huddled under a tree, looking worried. Above them, two winged figures float in the sky, pointing downward. The scene feels dark and stormy, with heavy clouds and rough brushstrokes. The title, *Todos Caerán* ("All Will Fall"), hints at a sense of coming disaster. The winged figures might symbolize fate or judgment, but their exact meaning isn’t clear just from looking. If this style intrigues you, check out chiaroscuro—the strong contrast between light and dark—to see how Goya used it to create drama.
