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.
Difficult to distinguish because of the faintness of the line, this drawing is a very brief sketch of the figure of a bearded, hooded old man whose face is more elaborate than the rest of his body.
It is on the reverse of the preparatory drawing for Caprice 64, entitled Bon viage (preparatory drawing), the composition of which has nothing to do with this sketch.
