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 Caprice 35: It unchains him.
There are profound differences between the drawing and the final print, as the former depicts three figures, an old man being shaved by an apparently clumsy barber in the presence of a woman hidden under a hood. The engraving, on the other hand, shows three women (prostitutes) surrounding a man seated on a stool.
