Historia

See Sad presentiments of what must come to pass.

This drawing, along with the set of preparatory drawing for the rest of the prints in this series, formed part of the Carderera Collection and was subsequently acquired by the Prado Museum where it is currently housed.

Análisis artístico

The main difference between the print and this preparatory drawing lies in Goya's use of space. The drawing features a building that ends in the centre of the composition: next to it there are two silhouettes that seem to be situated further back, behind the rest of the figures in the scene, hence their dark, less precise execution. The drawing's composition has a more vertical line than the print, proportioned by the building that continues into the upper section of the paper. In the print, this structure is cut off before this point. Likewise, the lighting in the print differs from that used in the drawing. The right-hand side of the drawing is completely lit up, while this section of the print is rendered in darkness.
