A cartoon for the tapestry to be hung in the Prince of Asturias´s quarters at the El Pardo Palace. Two Majos appear at the center of the composition, playing characteristic 18th-century Spanish narrow-wasted popular guitars with five double strings (as indicated by their ten visible tuning pegs). Baroque guitars had five double strings, but around 1760 another pair was added, although both types coexisted until the end of the century. The composition also includes a dancing couple, with the man in first position, although with one knee in front of the other, and the woman with her left foot forward in a battement tendu. The two look directly at each other, extending their arms laterally at different heights as they play the castanets. Their foot placement suggests they could also be dancing in Bolero style, as does the painting´s overall context. It is impossible, however, to say what sort of bolero dance this is, as both of their positions are very common in that sort of dance (UCM Musical Iconography Project). Property of the Museo del Prado, on loan to the Museo de Historia de Madrid by Royal Order, since 1924.
