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 72. You will not escape.
The movement of the young woman in this scene is forced, and the vaguely sketched character behind her is finally left unfinished in favour of the vampires on the reverse.
This first study for Caprice 72 was abandoned. Later, using a tracing, Goya used the composition on the reverse to modify and complete it.
