Disparate Conocido ( Well Known Folly)
Francisco Goya Y Lucientes 1746 - 1828
Summary
Two figures stand to the left. The one in front is a scarecrow, with a stick for an arm extended to the left and its back to the viewer. Behind this figure is a man in shadow, holding a sword up to the right. To the left of these two a group of people are watching the scene. A man in front of this crowd is moving off to the left, looking back over his shoulder, standing on his right leg and with his left leg bent at the knee.
