Did you know?
This painting belongs to the 'Black Paintings' series, a collection of 14 dark and haunting works that Goya painted in his final years in total isolation. He never intended for these deeply personal and disturbing murals to be seen by the public, as they were created on the walls of his own dining room. The identity of the figures remains ambiguous, adding to the unsettling and enigmatic nature of the scene.
