You see an old man swinging high in the air. He's dressed in old clothes and has a happy face. The old man seems carefree, which is interesting because Goya often painted serious topics. Goya made this etching near the end of his life. It's a simpler work, but still shows his skill. Check out the work of artist: Goya, Francisco to learn more about his style.
