The Horrors of War: Rightly or Wrongly

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of four men fighting. The man on the left lunges right with a sword in his right hand. The man second from the left holds a long stick or sword in both hands. The man third from the left bends at the waist with his right leg extended behind him, and lunges forward with a stick or sword held in both hands. The man on the far right carries a large cylindrical object on his back and holds a stick or club in his right hand. The men appear to be on a flat surface. There are people in the background on the left. The image has a thin black border. It is on a thick off-white background with a slightly textured surface. There is a line of small illegible text below the image.
