Los ensacados (The Men in Sacks)

Francisco Goya

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of ghostly figures standing in a line. The image depicts a group of indistinct, cloaked figures with haunting appearances. They are shown in varying poses and heights, creating a sense of movement within the scene. The figures are set against a dark background. The use of shadow and light, with an emphasis on chiaroscuro, contributes to the atmosphere of the artwork.
