Francisco de Goya
Artistic analysis
It’s impossible to identify the subject matter of this unfinished sketch. Three distinct levels are depicted, conveying the work’s depth and perspective. In the upper left, a group of warriors appears to be approaching the figure of a woman. Another woman is shown reclining in the lower part of the sketch. It may allude to a biblical theme.
