No te escaparas (You Will Not Escape) is a 1799 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman with wings and a flowing dress, stepping forward over a rough water surface. Around her are three small, winged figures—two look like men, one like a child—all peering out from behind her. The scene feels chaotic, with swirling lines and sharp angles. The title at the bottom, *No te escaparas* ("You Will Not Escape"), hints this might be about being watched or trapped. The way the figures cling to her suggests she’s the key to whatever’s happening. Next, check out how Goya used etching to create these sharp, dramatic lines.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
