Disparate ridiculo (Ridiculous Folly) is a 1816 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in white clothing, gathered around a large branch. The branch is dark and twisted, with many smaller branches extending from it. The people are all looking at something in front of them, but it's not clear what it is. The painting is done in a dark, muted color palette, with lots of shading and texture. The brushstrokes are visible and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement.
