Little Giants, Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. 1792

1 Why do you think this painting is called Little Giants? Use the words below to help you.

Figures in Proportion

Goya observed people in everyday life. He often painted people, or figures, doing daily activities. In this painting we can see boys playing together.

Artists use the size of the head to show the correct proportion and shape of a figure.

2 Read about how artists show people in their artwork.
