Francis de Goya painted two similar pictures that tell extremely different messages. In his chalk piece a women is holding what seems to be her lover mournfully. The man seems to on the verge of death, his lover is holding him up. I think this symbolizes the women not willing to let her husband move on, that she does not have fate in what will happen after death. Contrarily, in Francis de Goya’s water colour piece it appears to be the same man and women but in a different context. Neither the man, nor the women seem to be in pain. The man is resting his head against his lover and the women is looking faithfully towards the sky. I believe this symbolizes the women accepting the passing of her husband and having faith in what comes after death.
