Women and children near a cross c. 1812 - 1820

This drawing, created by Francisco Goya around 1812-1820, depicts a group of women and children near a cross. The artwork showcases Goya's masterful use of pen and ink, capturing the raw emotion and vulnerability of his subjects. The women, clothed in simple garments, hold infants close, their expressions a mix of sorrow and resignation. The looming presence of the cross serves as a somber reminder of suffering and mortality, themes prevalent in Goya's work.
