Y aun no se van! (And Still They Don't Go!) is a 1799 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This dark, chaotic scene shows a group of people struggling under a heavy wooden beam. Their faces are twisted in pain, and one person is on the ground, reaching up in desperation. The background is shadowy, making the figures stand out sharply. The title at the bottom, *"Y aun no se van!"* ("And Still They Don’t Go!"), hints this isn’t just a random struggle—it’s a protest or rebellion. The way Goya used lines and shading makes the scene feel tense and urgent. Want to see more of this style? Check out etching to learn how artists create dramatic prints like this.
