Historia

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.

Análisis artístico

This drawing, which has certain compositional similarities with the one entitled Modern Judith, shows a woman in the foreground with her arms raised and in an aggresive oratorial attitude before a crowd, represented by multiple heads reminiscent in their arrangement of the decapitated heads in Modern Judith, also placed in a kind of vast hanging.

This is a hastily drawn brushstroke drawing with a rather mysterious subject matter.
