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

This preparatory work fpt the engraving No. 26. They already have a seat, has its initial idea in the drawing in Notebook B, They get drunk (B. 67)

The composition of the drawing is very similar to that of the print. There are practically no changes, which suggests that, at the time of working on the sketch, the painter was very clear about the characteristics of the print. It also seems that Goya had already planned to leave two clearer areas corresponding to the young women's clothes, their legs and their faces.
