"Two Old Women Eating from a Bowl" is a painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, commonly known as Francisco Goya. This work is part of Goya's series of Black Paintings (Pinturas negras), a group of fourteen works created in the later years of his life, between 1819 and 1823. The Black Paintings are noted for their somber palette, complex symbolism, and their portrayal of intense, often disturbing themes.

The painting depicts a scene of two elderly women, hunched and grotesque, sharing a bowl of food. Their exaggerated and somewhat caricatured features suggest a sense of the macabre, a common characteristic in Goya's later works. The women's expressions are ambiguous, leaving their emotions and relationship to one another open to interpretation. The dark tones and rough brushstrokes contribute to the overall feeling of despair and are reflective of Goya's disillusionment with the human condition and society at the time.

Originally painted as a mural on the walls of Goya's home, the Quinta del Sordo (House of the Deaf Man), near Madrid, the Black Paintings were later transferred to canvas after Goya's death. "Two Old Women Eating from a Bowl" is now part of the collection at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to intrigue and unsettle viewers with its enigmatic portrayal of the darker aspects of human nature.

As with many of Goya's Black Paintings, "Two Old Women Eating from a Bowl" is not dated, and its interpretation is subject to scholarly debate. The work is often seen as a reflection of Goya's pessimistic view of society and his preoccupation with themes of mortality, decay, and the passage of time. It stands as a powerful example of Goya's late style, which has had a lasting impact on modern art and continues to be studied for its innovative approach to psychological and existential themes.
