Note du spécialiste

Prado manuscript: ‘An excellent mother to trust with a mission of confidence.’

‘This appears to be still another attack on the morals of the times in which an ‘excellent mother’ is portrayed as an evil-eyed procuress.’

Johnson, R. S., Francisco Goya, Los Caprichos, R.S. Johnson Fine Art, Chicago, 1992, p. 82.
