Francisco de Goya painted this small, vivid panel around 1806, one of a series of six recounting a real event that captivated Spain that year: the capture of an escaped convict known as “El Maragato” by a friar named Pedro, whom the outlaw had taken hostage along with other travelers. As the story goes, retold in songs, prints, and popular accounts across the country, the friar managed to seize the bandit's own gun, wound him, and subdue him single-handedly. Here, Goya shows the overpowered “El Maragato” sprawled on the ground as the friar beats him with the butt of the gun, a pose echoing classical images of Hercules taming wild beasts. The series captures Goya's fascination with dramatic contemporary events and everyday Spanish life, painted in miniature for his own pleasure and a few private patrons.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.
The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. The texture in Friar Pedro makes Goya feel present in the room. The detail is sharp enough that I keep finding new things in it. This is what buying online should feel like.

The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. The scale works perfectly for Friar Pedro and nothing feels cramped.

Ordered a second one
I have bought three of these now for different rooms. My guests ask about Friar Pedro before anything else in the house.

Way better than expected
This shop does everything right, from checkout to delivery. My daughter recognized Friar Pedro from her art class and was thrilled. It has been worth every minute of the wait.
