Margarita de Austria is a 1778 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman sitting on a large dog. She’s dressed in a heavy fur coat with a high collar, holding a small bundle in her lap. The dog looks calm, with its head turned slightly toward her. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the fur on the coat and the dog’s thick fur. The background is simple, keeping focus on the two main subjects. If you like this style, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create detailed prints.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
