Sanan cuchilladas mas no malas palabras (Wounds Heal Quicker than Hasty Words)

Francisco Goya

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a group of six figures in a dynamic arrangement. From left to right, there is a person with their arms around the shoulders of another who is stumbling. The center figure wears a cloak-like garment and has a wide-eyed expression. A child is holding the hand of the central figure. The fifth person is leaning forward with a hand on their head, and the sixth figure stands at the far right, gesturing with one hand. The background is dark and textured.
