Notes | As Goya's patron, the duke of Alba and his wife had set up a studio for the painter at their Madrid palace. Daily observation in close proximity to the life of the palace inhabitants resulted in this "anecdotal" cabinet painting: the young son of the chamberlain and the dark-skinned girl adopted by the childless duchess are having fun with a servant. The old woman, known for her piety, is seeking refuge with a priest, whose presence is suggested by the figure dressed in black at the edge of the picture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
