The drawing passed by inheritance in 1828 to Javier Goya, the painter's son, and in 1854 to Mariano Goya y Goicoechea, the artist's grandson. It was subsequently owned by Valentín Carderera (ca. 1861) and Mariano Carderera (ca. 1880). In 1886 it was acquired from Mariano Carderera by the General Direction of Public Instruction and was assigned to the Prado Museum, where it entered on 12 November 1886.
The faint, very sketchy, faint sanguine strokes of the bust of a woman whose head seems to be covered by a hood are barely distinguishable.
This is the reverse of the preparatory drawing for Caprice 78, entitled Dismiss, who awaken (preparatory drawing).
