1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Out Hunting for Teeth, Plate 12 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows two people in a dim, shadowy room. One person is kneeling on a low ledge, holding the other’s hand to their mouth—like they’re pulling out teeth. The person on the ledge wears a loose robe and looks tense, while the kneeling figure has a patterned shawl and seems to be helping or hurting them. The title at the bottom, *Out Hunting for Teeth*, hints this isn’t a normal scene. The lighting is stark, with deep shadows making the figures look dramatic and intense. If this style intrigues you, look up chiaroscuro.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
