Goya’s working method called for the making of many proofs so that he could check changes on the copperplate. This is the working proof of plate 61 from the ‘Los Caprichos’ series. Although the composition is already in its finished state, it lacks the engraved title and the number. The change to the original title is typical of the importance that the artist attached to titles.
