Fuerte cosa es! (That's Tough!) is a 1815 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people in a rough scene by the water. One man stands with his arms raised, looking angry or shocked. Another man leans forward, holding a stick or weapon. A woman kneels beside him, looking down. The background has a boat and some trees, but the focus is on the tense group. The artist used quick, scratchy lines to show movement and emotion. The rough texture makes the scene feel urgent and raw. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how Goya made this dramatic effect.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
