The Horrors of War: He Deserved It

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white artwork on off-white background. A square scene in center shows at least five men, mostly wearing hats, engaged in a fight or struggle with swords and clubs. One man on left appears to be on one knee, with right leg extended back and a sword held up in right hand. Man to his right is lunging forward with a sword. A man on the right wears a white shirt, and another man stands behind him. A fifth man lies on the ground. The scene appears dark and violent. Small, illegible text is present beneath the scene. A small number "29" is in the upper-left corner of the artwork.
