A Kindness in Sunlight Francisco de Goya’s The Parasol belongs to his early years designing tapestry cartoons, and the mood is light. This slow art experience rests on a young woman seated on the ground with a small dog in her lap and a closed fan in her hand, looking out at us. Behind her a young man holds a green parasol, and its shade turns her face a cool, luminous green. Blue sky, a low wall, an easy afternoon. This work can be seen at The Museo Nacional del Prado.
