拍品专文

Prado manuscript: ‘His military stripes and cane make this former military man believe in his natural superiority. He abuses the calling which has been confided in him. He bores everyone he meets, acting superior, insolent and vain with those who are less important while seeming beaten down and vile (at the same time) with those who are more important.’

‘The Ayala and Biblioteca Nacional texts are identical and sum up the principle ideas of that of the Prado: ‘Presumptuous (former) military men, blown up with gout and hernias, talk big in front of cripples, something they would not be doing when faced with enemies’.

Johnson, R. S., Francisco Goya, Los Caprichos, R.S. Johnson Fine Art, Chicago, 1992, p. 178.
