拍品专文

Prado manuscript: ‘The little hobgoblins are the most agreeable and also the most accommodating people who could be found: being like a house-maid keeps them happy. They scrub over the earthen pot, cook the vegetables, they scour, sweep, and quiet down the baby; it has been greatly disputed whether or not they are devils; let us drop this idea, devils are those who occupy themselves doing bad things or who stop others from doing good things, or who do not do anything at all.’

The Ayala manuscript presents a completely different subject for this work: ‘Monks and nuns have orgies of gluttony at night in order to be able to sing well at daytime’. The latter text as it reads would represent a direct attack on the clergy's negative ways and the secrecy surrounding their activities.'

Johnson, R. S., Francisco Goya, Los Caprichos, R.S. Johnson Fine Art, Chicago, 1992, p. 182.
