It is Better to be Lazy, Plate 73 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three people in a dim room. A man sits on the floor, holding a baby while another person leans over him. A woman in a long dress stands nearby, looking down. The lighting is dark, with only small patches of light on faces and hands. The title at the bottom reads *"It is Better to be Lazy."* This print is part of a series by Goya that pokes fun at laziness and human flaws. If you like this style, check out Romanticism next—it often used humor and sharp observations like this.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
