About this work

This sketch shows four men in a dim room. One man in a robe kneels, pointing at something on a table. The others sit or lean in, looking shocked or confused. The lighting is dark except for a small window in the back. The title "Están calientes" means "They are hot"—likely a joke about the men’s reactions. Goya often used humor to critique power. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how he plays with light and shadow.
