Por que fue sensible (Because She Was Susceptible) is a 1799 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman sits on the floor, her legs crossed, one arm resting on her knee. She wears a loose dress with a high neckline and bare feet. Above her, a small window shows a faint landscape, and the room around her is dark. The title at the bottom reads *"Por que fue sensible"*—Spanish for *"Because She Was Susceptible."* The soft shading and mood suggest quiet drama. Next, check out Romanticism to see how this style used emotion over strict rules.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
