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.
This drawing belongs to the series of Dreams and should be considered a foundation for the Caprice no. 36, Bad Night, which is also inspired by the sketch in Notebook B, Jesus, what an air! (B. 81).
The composition is very similar to that of the print, although more simplified than that of Notebook B, as the figures that are difficult to make out in the background of the scene disappear.
Goya has drawn in ink some clouds in the sky and a barely sketched figure floating or jumping under them that does not appear in the print.
The paper shows the mark of the copper, so the drawing may have been transferred to the plate.
