"Les Vieilles" or "Time and the Old Women" is a painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created in the later period of his life, around 1810-1823. This work is part of a series of paintings known as the "Black Paintings," which were painted directly onto the walls of Goya's house, the Quinta del Sordo, near Madrid. The series is renowned for its dark, intense themes and somber palette, reflecting Goya's pessimistic view of humanity and his preoccupation with themes of aging, witchcraft, and the irrationality of the human condition.

The painting depicts two decrepit old women, often interpreted as a grotesque representation of the ravages of time and the inevitability of aging. The figures are adorned in lavish, outdated attire, suggesting a vain attempt to cling to their lost youth and beauty. The background figure, who appears to be whispering into the ear of the foreground figure, is sometimes thought to personify time itself, mocking the futility of the women's efforts to resist its passage.

"Les Vieilles" is characterized by its loose, expressive brushwork and a haunting use of chiaroscuro, which enhances the sense of decay and foreboding in the scene. The work is a powerful example of Goya's late style, in which he often explored the darker aspects of the human psyche. The "Black Paintings," including "Les Vieilles," were never intended for public display; they were transferred to canvas after Goya's death and now reside in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

This painting, along with the rest of the "Black Paintings," is considered a precursor to the Expressionist movement and has been interpreted in various ways by art historians. It remains a subject of fascination for its enigmatic symbolism and its stark portrayal of human mortality and the passage of time.
