Francisco de Goya, “Mal Marido” (“Bad Husband”), c. 1824-28, drawing, 185 x 135 mm, Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado Drawing with an inscription that reads "Bad Husband". It is drawn with black chalk on a rough paper. Here you see how Goya distorts anatomy for the sake of expression. His standards are very different from those of most earlier and contemporary artists, more closely linked to the classical tradition. Instead of correct anatomical rendition, and the use of ancient status as aesthetic guides, he is subjective, he seeks to create a personal version of humanity.
