And Still They Don't Go!, Plate 59 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of people struggling to lift a heavy table. Their faces are tense, muscles straining. One person is on their knees, another leans back, and a third clings to the edge. The scene looks chaotic, with bodies twisted in unison. The title at the bottom reads *"Y aun no se van!"*—Spanish for *"And still they don’t go!"*—hinting at stubbornness or futility. The drawing feels raw, almost like a quick sketch full of energy. This is part of Goya’s work, so check out Romanticism next to see how artists used emotion and drama like this.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
