1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Poor Little Girls!, Plate 22 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two young girls in a dimly lit room. They're standing close together, looking down. The girl on the left has her hands clasped in front of her, while the other girl has her arms wrapped around her body. They're both wearing long, dark dresses and have their heads bowed. The room is sparse, with no furniture or decorations visible. The only light comes from a small window high up on the wall, casting a faint glow on the girls' faces. The overall mood is somber and melancholic. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the girls' faces and emphasizing their emotions.
