Boy Staring at an Apparition | Francisco Goya | 1824-25 Arnold Böcklin unconventional clothingAbout the artwork: "Boy Staring at an Apparition" (1824 25) by Francisco Goya is a haunting drawing that reflects the artist's fascination with the supernatural and the eerie. In this work, a young boy gazes in shock and fear at a ghostly figure that appears to him, suspended in the air. The sketchy, ethereal quality of the apparition contrasts with the more solid and grounded figure of the boy, enhancing the sense of mystery and terror. Goya,
