Synopsis:
Goya Pastoral tells the fable-like story of an aging marquesa who is infatuated with a young
man. She supplies him with all her money until she loses at cards. This disaster, paired with seeing the Young
Man, apparently dead in a suicide, hanging on a convenient tree, is too much for her nerves and she is carried
off in a swoon. Whereupon the young man slips his head from the noose and lavishes the Marquesa’s gold on a pretty
peasant girl who sells grapes.
