The Horrors of War: Perhaps They are of Another Breed

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white etching depicts a group of people on a flat surface, possibly a ground or floor. A deceased figure lies on the left. A woman stands over the body, her body facing right and her head turned left. Her hair is pulled back and she wears a long dress. To her right, a woman stands with one arm extended over a seated child. The standing woman wears a large hat and a long dress. A man kneels to the right, obscuring the child. He wears a hat and a jacket. One more child sits between the two women. A mound or object is behind the standing woman on the left. The etching is on a white background and mounted on a larger piece of off-white, textured paper.
