Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga (1784–1792)

1787–88
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 641
Le modèle de ce célèbre portrait est le fils du comte et de la comtesse d’Altamira. Vêtu d’un splendide costume rouge, le garçonnet joue avec une pie apprivoisée (qui tient en son bec la carte de visite du peintre), une cage pleine de pinsons et trois chats aux yeux écarquillés. Souvent, dans l’art chrétien, les oiseaux figuraient l’âme, tandis que l’art baroque voyait dans les oiseaux en cage le symbole de l’innocence. Goya a peut-être voulu illustrer les faibles défenses de l’enfance contre les forces du mal ou montrer la nature fugace de l’innocence et de la jeunesse. Il se peut par ailleurs que le tableau ait été peint après la mort de l’enfant, survenue en 1792.
