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.
Preparatory drawing for the Caprice 67. Wait to be smeared. Goya approaches this theme by depicting the flight of the goat.
This drawing was reproduced exactly in the engraving. The illumination has not been modified, only a slight aquatint veil appears in the print, which cuts the composition diagonally to balance the other diagonal formed by the body of the goat.
