About the artwork
Artist supplied description.
Two groups of working-class travelers, one with a slaughtered pig in tow, converge on an icy road during a snowstorm. Francisco de Goya captured the scene’s wintry atmosphere with barren trees, large swaths of cool grays and whites, and diagonal brushstrokes that convey rapid snowfall. This small painting is one of a series of studies Goya created for monumental tapestries depicting the four seasons, commissioned for a dining hall at the Royal Palace of El Pardo in Spain. The image would have been scaled up to life-size and then manufactured by weavers in Spain’s Royal Tapestry Factory.

Demotte, Paris and New York [letter of December 9, 1957 from Abris Silberman to Hans Huth in curatorial file states that Silberman acquired the painting “directly from the Demott [sic] Estate,” presumably referring to the stock of this gallery after the death of Lucien Demotte in 1934]
