About the work
On July 28, 1788, the Gazeta de Madrid advertised the availability of nine Goya prints after paintings by Velázquez from the Royal Palace collection. They included two equestrian portraits of nobles, two philosophers, and two court dwarfs: “They are for sale in the bookshops of D. Antonio Sancha in the old Custom-house and of D. Manuel Barco, Carrera de San Gerónimo. The prices are, the equestrian figures at 6 reales and the four portraits at 3; they can be had together or separately.”
