XIX century. Wash, Indian ink, Conté crayon on laid paper. Not on displayThe drawings in this Album were in the possession of Valentín Carderera, who made these two copies of originals whose whereabouts are unknown. The naked young woman, similar to others in the Album, shows Goya´s interest in those years in portraying the female body. In fact, it was around those years that he painted The Naked Maja (1795-1800).
