They are Hot, Plate 13 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
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.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
