A Soldier Lying on the Ground

Artist: Francisco Jose de Goya
Artwork: A Soldier Lying on the Ground
Description: Francisco Jose de Goya painted this oil on canvas in 1808. It is a preparatory sketch for a larger painting. The sketch depicts a soldier lying on the ground, his head resting on his left arm. The soldier’s face is obscured by his hat, but his expression is one of pain and exhaustion. Goya’s use of dark, somber colors and his depiction of the soldier’s vulnerability and suffering convey the brutality of war and the human cost of violence.
