Until Death, Plate 55 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a woman in a light dress holding a bouquet of feathers. Behind her, two people stand near a table with an open book or painting. The woman looks up, one hand near her face, while the others watch her closely. The room is dim, with dark walls and a small window letting in faint light. The print’s title, *Hasta la muerte* ("Until Death"), hints at a story behind the scene. The woman’s pose and the feathers might suggest a moment of drama or farewell. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow to create mood.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
