Si quebro el cantaro (Yes He Broke the Pot) is a 1799 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman kneeling by a broken clay pot, her hands covering her face. She’s slumped over, looking upset, while a few more pots sit nearby. The background has a rough wall and a window, with a basket and some scattered clothes on the ground. The title says *"Yes He Broke the Pot"*—so this isn’t just a woman, but a scene about blame. The artist used sharp lines and shading to show her distress. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how Goya made this print.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
