Hush!, Plate 28 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people in a dim, outdoor space. One is bent over, leaning on a stick, while the other stands close, a hand resting on their shoulder. The clothing looks old-fashioned, and the sky is dark with a few faint clouds. The title "Hush!" hints this scene might be quiet or tense. The artist used shading to make the figures stand out against the background. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
