More about this artwork

We are pleased to feature Francisco de Goya's captivating etching, "Hilan delgado." (They spin finely.), from the series "Los Caprichos". Created between 1796 and 1797, this artwork offers insight into Goya's critical perspective on Spanish society.In this etching, Goya depicts an elderly woman who is spinning wool, accompanied by another, slightly younger woman, who is assisting her by carding the wool. The focus on their faces reveals a lifetime of experiences, marked by deeply carved lines and exaggerated, almost haunting expressions. The scene is set against a dimly lit background, which serves to draw attention primarily to the action and the figures involved.Noteworthy in this composition are not only Goya's signature delicate yet swift lines but also the way he captures the textures of the wool and the rough fabrics of the women’s clothing. In the upper right corner, a vaguely unsettling element is introduced with dolls hanging in the background, perhaps representing society's conventional roles or criticizing the social norms concerning women at the time."Hilan delgado.

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.
