186 (in pencil; lower right corner; by Garreta/Madrazo).
Fragment of the wet stamp of the National Museum of Paintings in the upper margin.
See Young woman with forehead wearing a small hat.
Line of provenance (common to drawings A.g, A.h, A.i and A.j): Javier Goya, Mariano Goya. Around 1855-1860 it was in the hands of Federico de Madrazo and/or Román Garreta. Acquired for the Trinity Museum in Madrid by Royal Order of 5 April 1866 and incorporated into the Prado Museum in 1872.
See Young woman with forehead wearing a small hat.
A woman is shown lying on her bed while her maid enters the room to empty a chamber pot.
An intimate scene that would have taken place in the relaxed admosphere of Sanlúcar. Goya never thought that these drawings would be published, so he had no qualms about depicting such personal situations from life at the Duchess's court. Perhaps the main character is the aristocrat herself, with her long, black hair.
Light brushstrokes give speed and vivacity to the drawing. It is far removed from all the correctness and orthodoxy of a work of a personal nature.
On the back of the sheet is the drawing Women for a walk.
