This black-and-white print shows a tense scene outside a building. A woman lies on the ground, clutching a child. Two other figures stand nearby—one looks worried, the other seems to be helping. The building behind them has rough walls, and a horse is tied up in the corner. The text at the bottom reads *"No llegan a tiempo"* (they don’t arrive in time). The artist used strong contrasts between light and shadow to make the scene feel urgent. The figures’ expressions and body language suggest fear and desperation. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and drama in their work.
