About this artwork
This oil painting on canvas belongs to a series of tapestry cartoons commissioned for the royal site of El Pardo, depicting scenes of daily life in 18th-century Spain.
Did you know?
Goya created this work as one of his tapestry cartoons, intended as a model for weavers at the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Bárbara. These works were designed to decorate the walls of the Spanish royal palaces, providing a lighthearted look at contemporary Spanish life that stood in stark contrast to the darker, more cynical works Goya would produce later in his career.
