Francisco de Goya

The image is a black and white etching of a group of people. The scene depicts several human figures; a man sits on the ground with one leg bent and one extended. The man has his right arm raised. He sits with a child on his lap to his right. There are two adults and a child to his left. The adults appear to be dead or dying, while the seated man appears alive. The background is dark with stars visible. The image has a white border around it and some writing at the bottom. The writing reads "Se acabó; no Vemos". The image is plate 71, as indicated by a small number in the upper right corner of the etching. The overall mood of the image is somber and dark.
