The Proverbs: Matrimonial Folly

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a man wearing a short, draped garment and no shoes. He appears to be physically pulling the arm of a woman on her hands and knees; she wears a long dress and faces left. A man on the left wears a head covering and a robe; he's on one knee and his face looks worried or scared. Behind them are several other people on one knee, or on a rise to the right. The background is dark. The scene depicts Matrimonial Folly by Francisco de Goya.
