Historia

On the gestation, history and aims of the series known as Dreams, a set of preparatory drawings for The Caprices, see Dream 1: Universal Language.

Line of provenance of the present drawing: Javier Goya; Mariano Goya, 1854; Valentín Carderera, ca. 1861; Mariano Carderera, 1880; Prado Museum, 1886.

Análisis artístico

This scene was inspired by a composition from Notebook B, Women before three companions (B.20) and was used as a preparatory drawing for the etching of Caprice 27, Who else is surrendered. The title indicates that Goya was inspired by his experiences during his stays in Andalusia (Seville and Cadiz) between 1796 and 1797. According to Matilla, it satirises the falsehood in the relations between the petimetres and the damsels.

The print and the preparatory drawing are practically identical in composition, except for the landscape, which does not appear in the etching.

There is also the imprint of the imprint of the foil, left by the pressure of the press during the intaglio process on the copper plate measuring 197 x 150 mm, and vertical stippling measuring 26-27 mm.
