It’s a Pity You Don’t Have Something Else to Do! 1808 - 1814

"It’s a Pity You Don’t Have Something Else to Do!" is a drawing by Francisco Goya created between 1808 and 1814. This work showcases Goya's mastery of capturing the essence of everyday life through a quick sketch. The figure, a woman carrying a large jug, is depicted with a sense of weariness and resignation, perhaps reflecting the hardships of the time. The use of brown ink creates a sense of depth and texture, and the inscription at the bottom suggests a wry commentary on the woman's plight. Goya's "It’s a Pity You Don’t Have Something Else to Do!" is a compelling example of his keen observation and social commentary, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people in early 19th-century Spain.
