Handcuffed by the roadside

1824 - 1828. Pencil on laid paper.
Not on display

Here, Goya used a black crayon containing grease, thus providing greater plasticity. He began by gently sketching the background, and then added layers, as he did in paintings. Applying only the slightest pressure with the sharpened pencil, he created the contours and little by little intensified the volumes so as to strongly emphasize the expressive details. These grease pencils were similar to the ones he was using around the same time to make his Bordeaux lithographs.

Corazón y escudo de Ámsterdam
Varios fabricantes franceses emplearon la filigrana del escudo de Ámsterdam en su variante con una cruz de San Andrés. Entre ellos, los papeleros de la dinastía Jardiel, de la comarca del Périgord, o los Bouygar, de Burdeos, cuya filigrana tenía además un gran corazón sobre el escudo.
