Historia

Throughout the creative process of The Caprices, which had as their first germ some drawings from Notebook A and Notebook B and reached a greater definition of ideas in the series Dreams, Goya also produced numerous loose drawings. On Goya's death these drawings passed successively to his son Javier (+1854) and his grandson Mariano. They were acquired from him around 1861 by the collector and scholar Valentín Carderera. On his death in 1880 they were inherited by his nephew Mariano Carderera, from whom the Prado Museum bought them by virtue of a Royal Order of 12 November 1886. With the exception of this drawing with the self-portrait of Goya, corresponding to the cover of The Caprices or Caprice 1, which Valentín Carderera donated to Romualdo Nogués y Milagro (+1899); by inheritance it passed to Manuel Nogués; subsequently to C. de Hauke and to Walter C. Baker (New York) who in 1971 donated it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Análisis artístico

In the preparatory drawing Goya made for the first engraving in his series The Caprices, he portrays himself with a long bust. The painter wears a top hat, a buttoned jacket and a grim expression on his face, as in the engraving. The only difference between the sketch and the print is that in the sketch the painter is depicted up to his elbow, while in the engraving he is depicted up to the start of his arm. On the paper he marked in sanguine the definitive dimensions that were later transferred to the print.

On the verso of the folio there are several sketches of Goya's face
