The Proverbs: God Creates Them and They Join Up Together by Francisco de Goya. A dark monochromatic artwork depicting a scene with several figures. A man points to the right with his right arm extended, standing over a woman lying on the ground. Two other figures are to his left, one behind the other. The standing man and the two figures to his left appear to be dressed in dark, flowing clothing. The background is dark and shadowy with some lighter areas suggesting foliage or other details. The overall mood of the image appears somber and intense. The artwork appears to be a print or engraving with visible texture and cross-hatching.
