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 no. 32, Because it was sensitive.
The drawing will undergo slight modifications when it is transferred to engraving. The young woman is seated on a somewhat undefined surface in the sketch, whereas in the engraving she is seated on some steps. In addition, the earthenware vessel in the print is, in the drawing, a jug. The woman's face also undergoes some changes, as in the drawing it is three-quarter length, while in the engraving it is in profile. Her expression is more serene and concentrated in the engraving.
The painter has captured the dark background and left almost the entire surface of the prey's body in white, emulating the effect he would have obtained when the engraving was made using only aquatint.
