What a Sacrifice!, Plate 14 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In the painting, a woman in a long dress stands with her hands clasped together. Behind her, a group of men are gathered, one of whom appears to be holding her back. The scene is set against a dark background. The woman's facial expression is one of concern or fear, while the men's faces are more ambiguous. The overall mood of the painting is tense and foreboding. This painting is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and drama.
