Caritas (Charity) is a 1925 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts an elderly man with a long white beard and a hood over his head, holding a staff in his right hand. He is dressed in dark clothing, and his face is turned slightly to the left. The background is a solid, dark color. The man's facial expression is one of contemplation, and his eyes seem to be gazing into the distance. The level of detail in the etching is impressive, with intricate lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. This piece is a great example of Romanticism, and it would be interesting to explore more works by the artist, Francisco Goya.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
