Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zúñiga (1784–1792)

1787–88
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 641
El modelo de este famoso retrato es el hijo del conde y la condesa de Altamira. Ataviado con un espléndido traje rojo, juega con una urraca domesticada (que sostiene la tarjeta de visita del pintor en el pico), una jaula llena de pinzones y tres gatos vigilantes. En el arte cristiano los pájaros suelen simbolizar el alma, mientras que en el arte barroco los pájaros enjaulados son símbolo de inocencia. Es posible que en este retrato, tal vez pintado tras la muerte del niño en 1792, Goya quisiera ilustrar la frágil frontera entre el mundo de la infancia y las fuerzas del mal, o bien mostrar el carácter evanescente de la inocencia y la juventud.
