Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga (1784–1792)

1787–88
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 641
Das Modell in diesem berühmten Porträt ist der Sohn des Grafen und der Gräfin von Altamira. In einem prächtigen roten Kostüm spielt er mit einer zahmen Elster (die die Visitenkarte des Künstlers im Schnabel trägt), einem Käfig voller Finken und drei großäugigen Katzen. In der christlichen Kunst stehen Vögel oft für die Seele, und in der barocken Kunst symbolisieren Vögel in Käfigen die Unschuld. Goyas Absicht war bei diesem Porträt möglicherweise die Illustration der schwachen Grenzen zwischen der Welt des Kindes und der Macht des Bösen oder ein Kommentar zur Vergänglichkeit von Unschuld und Jugend. Das Gemälde könnte nach dem Tod des Kindes 1792 entstanden sein.
