Historia

On the origin of this and other preparatory drawings for The Caprices, see the commentary on the first of them, corresponding to Caprice number 1 (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, painter), and on the one corresponding to Caprice 3 (The bogeyman is Coming).

Line of provenance of this drawing: Javier Goya; Mariano Goya, 1854; Valentín Carderera, ca. 1861; Mariano Carderera, 1880; Prado Museum, 1886.

Análisis artístico

Preparatory drawing for the Caprice 58. Gobble it down dog. It is very carefully executed and is very similar in composition to the final print.

Goya´s subject has been analysed by Glendinning according to whom an anecdote in Seville was the origin of this burlesque scene.

This work can also be associated and compared with the drawings Death of the Bailiff Lampiños, (F. 86) and The Help (H. 42).
