1799
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
You understand?...Well, as I say...eh! Look out! Otherwise..., Plate 76 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three men in a tense moment. The man in the center leans on a cane, his face twisted in frustration. One man behind him holds his shoulders, while another on the left points at him, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The background is plain, focusing all attention on their expressions and gestures. Notice the rough, sketchy lines—this wasn’t meant to be polished. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to show emotion over detail. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
