Francisco Goya, Two people eating

Itis the smallest of all the Black Paintings – Two People Eating makes a lasting impression on us: the cadaverous faces are not devoid of ironic gesture, or a sarcastic grimace, and in this way the artist ”humanizes” what would otherwise have been only simple death masks. (Valeriano Bozal, Goya-Black Paintings)
