About this work

This print shows a woman bent over a man lying on the ground. She’s dressed in a loose, old-fashioned gown, her hands clutching a cross. The man on the floor looks exhausted, his head resting on a pile of blankets. The background is dark and rough, like a stormy sky. The title at the bottom reads *"Y no hai remedio"*—Spanish for *"And There’s No Help for It."* It’s a quiet moment full of weight. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Goya used sharp tools to create deep, dramatic lines.
