The composition depicts the artist in a state of physical frailty, supported by his physician, Eugenio García Arrieta. Goya sits upright in bed, his eyes closed and his head tilted back, while Arrieta offers him a glass of medicine. The background remains dark and indistinct, focusing the viewer on the intimate connection between the two figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the base of the canvas, an inscription provides context for the scene. It states that Goya painted the work as a gesture of gratitude toward his friend, Arrieta, for the care provided during his dangerous illness in late 1819. The artist was seventy-three years old at the time. The brushwork is loose and expressive, characteristic of Goya's later period, which moved away from the formal constraints of his earlier court commissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is restrained, dominated by dark tones that contrast with the white of the bed linens and the physician's shirt. This work offers a rare, personal glimpse into the artist's private life and his confrontation with mortality. It avoids the idealised portraiture common to the era, presenting instead a raw, honest account of human vulnerability. The presence of shadowy figures in the background adds a sense of ambiguity, perhaps representing the spectres of death or the presence of other attendants. As a document of personal history, the painting functions as both a medical record and a tribute to the bond between patient and healer. It remains a significant example of Goya's ability to convey psychological depth through simple, direct observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-a-young-man-theodore-gericault\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of a Young Man by Théodore Géricault\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/retrato-de-mujer-joaquin-manuel-fernandez-cruzado\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRetrato de mujer by Joaquín Manuel Fernández Cruzado\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/francisco-goya\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancisco Goya prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francisco Goya","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474949833039,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474953863503,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474953896271,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474953929039,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474953961807,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474953994575,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474954027343,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474954060111,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474954092879,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474954125647,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474954158415,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474954191183,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-Portrait-with-Doctor-Arrieta_Poster_CompositorV1_1794405742035.jpg?v=1794444698","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/self-portrait-with-doctor-arrieta-francisco-goya","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
