1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
It is Nicely Stretched, Plate 17 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a woman sitting on the ground, with her legs bent and feet flat on the floor. She is wearing a long dress and a headscarf, and is looking down at something in front of her. A man is standing next to her, holding her leg and stretching it out. The background is dark, and the overall mood of the image is somber. The woman's facial expression is one of concentration, and the man's posture suggests that he is trying to help her. The image is rendered in a range of grays, with no bright colors or bold lines. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The image is a print from Francisco de Goya's series "Los Caprichos," which explores themes of love, death, and the human condition.
