More about this artwork

In this evocative sketch by Francisco de Goya, titled "Young Woman Wringing Her Hands over a Man’s Naked Body (verso)" from 1796-97, we witness a scene charged with emotion and drama. The artwork captures a poignant moment in a soft, almost ethereal brushwork which is characteristic of Goya's unique style.The painting portrays a young woman in a flowing dress, her expression filled with distress as she wrings her hands. The focus of her turmoil is a seemingly lifeless man lying beside her in a natural setting. The man's position, draped in shadow, juxtaposed against the woman’s dynamic posture, creates a stark visual contrast that enhances the sense of tragedy and despair depicted in the scene.Goya's use of muted, washed tones and the unfinished quality of the sketch lend an immediacy to the moment, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a deeply personal, sorrowful event. The background, though loosely defined, hints at a wooded area, adding to the isolation and solemn mood of the composition.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters. Goya is often referred to as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns.
