Fuerte cosa es! (That's Tough!) is a 1863 ink by Francisco Goya, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people in a chaotic scene by the water. One person is holding a child, another is reaching out with a long stick, and the third stands with arms crossed. The lines are rough and busy, giving a sense of movement and tension. The title *Fuerte cosa es!* means "That's tough!"—this print might be showing a moment of struggle or hardship. The artist used sharp, quick lines to create drama. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Goya made prints like this.
