Fashion upside down

This drawing, which was transferred to the plate but was not finally engraved, can be related to Capriche 26. They already have a seat. 
 Just like that.In both cases the grotesque use of clothing on the main figures is the link between them. While in Caprice 26 young women are depicted with petticoats on their heads, in the present drawing a man in the centre of the composition wears breeches instead of a jacket, which he wears as a skirt. He wears shoes with buckles over his ears, as does the small figure in front of him. Her left hand rests on a brazier as a walking stick, while with her right she is trying to make a sign to the figure in front of her, who, like the prostitutes in Whim 26, is wearing a petticoat over her head. According to Wilson-Bareau, both figures dressed upside down express an ambiguous sexuality. The direct gaze between them suggests an unclear relationship. Behind them, the figures of two women looking and laughing are reminiscent of the old men and women in Caprice 26 and those in Caprice 5. Just like that.

It is a magnificently finished drawing which, however, was never engraved, perhaps because of the implications of the subject in Goya's time, who finally decided to exclude it from the Caprices series.
