Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Proverbs: The Horse-Abductor by Francisco de Goya. A dark scene with shades of gray. A man in a loose-fitting shirt and pants is being flung into the air by a horse. The man has his right arm raised and his left arm extended downward. The horse's head is raised, and its front legs are bent. The horse's body is positioned diagonally across the image. A mountainous landscape is visible in the background, with a large hill on the right side. A figure sits on a rock formation on the left side. The sky above is dark.
