Hobgoblins, Plate 49 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three odd-looking figures in a dim room. One stands with arms outstretched, wearing a dark robe and a pointy hat. Another, also in a hat, holds a cup and looks down. A third figure sits on the floor, small and hunched. The background is plain, with a window showing a striped blind. The title *Hobgoblins* hints these might be spooky or funny creatures. The artist used quick, rough lines to make them look exaggerated. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style played with imagination.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
