Hunger scene
Ca. 1813. Red chalk on ivory laid paper Not on displayThis drawing related to one of the Disasters was neither engraved nor published. Gassier questioned its authorship due to its scant quality: “Certain details, such as the hand visible at the center, are unworthy of Goya. The copper mark indicates, however, that the drawing has been transferred and printed: might this only have been a printing proof? The present surviving drawing would not have deserved more.”
The drawing appears to be a pastiche that freely combines figures from preparatory drawings and prints relating to Disasters 60 (G2390) and 59 (G2389).
