Two of a Kind, Plate 5 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows three people in a dimly lit room. A woman in a dark dress stands with her back to us, holding a child. A man in a fancy coat leans over her, while another person kneels in front of them, wearing a hooded cloak. The lighting is uneven, with dark shadows and bright spots on their faces and clothes. The title at the bottom reads *"Tal para cual"*, which means "just like each other" in Spanish. This hints at a story about how people treat each other. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow to create drama.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
