The Threshing Floor (La era)
Sketch for the tapestry cartoon The Threshing Floor.
This sketch was made by Goya in autumn 1786, to be shown to the king for his approval. A document certifies that the artist requested payment for a carriage to take him to the palace of San Lorenzo de El Escorial expressly for this purpose.
The work was acquired by the ninth Duke of Osuna in 1799. In this collection it appeared under the title of Summer. It went on sale in 1896, at the time of the bankruptcy of the ducal household, by order of the executive bondholder board, and it was bought by Richard Traumann for the sum of 3,000 reales. At some point before 1926 it came to be owned by José Lázaro Galdiano and today it belongs to the museum built around this collection.
The sketch differs little from the finished cartoon. Its composition is similar to that of another sketch, Quarrel at the Cockerel Inn, conceived as a kind of frieze although in this case the central pyramid shape, topped off with the four-pronged rake, dominates. The scene displays a marked realism and an intensely Spanish character.
