Un enano (A Dwarf) is a 1778 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white etching of a seated man with a thick beard and dark hair. He’s wearing a loose robe and sits with his legs stretched out, one hand resting on his knee. The lines are rough and scratchy, giving his face and clothes a textured look. The artist signed it in Spanish, calling it a portrait of a "dwarf" from the royal palace in Madrid. It’s dated 1778, made by Francisco Goya when he was just starting out. Next, check out technique: etching to see how artists like Goya made prints like this.
