On the origin of this and other preparatory drawings for The Caprices, see the commentary on the first of them, corresponding to Caprice number 1 (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, painter), and on the one corresponding to Caprice 3 (The bogeyman is Coming).
Line of provenance of this drawing: Javier Goya; Mariano Goya, 1854; Valentín Carderera, ca. 1861; Mariano Carderera, 1880; Prado Museum, 1886.
The sketch we are dealing with here is a preparation for engraving no. 23. Those Powders from the series of The Caprices, although it has stronger analogies with the only proof of state preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris than with the print.
In the engraving, Goya thought it appropriate to slightly elevate the pulpit on which the inquisitor who reads him the charges stands. In this way he creates a confrontation between the inquisitor and the prisoner who, in both the print and the drawing, has the same posture and is dressed in the same way.
