'El Pelele', (The Straw Manikin), 1791-1792, (c1934). Four young women laugh and play, blanket-tossing a doll or manikin. The blanket-tossing of a doll is used here by Goya as a clear allegory of women's domination of men. This painting was used for the tapestries in Carlos IV's office at El Escorial. Oil on canvas. Held in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. From Galerias De Europa: Museo Del Prado, by A. De Beruete y Moret & Augusto L. Mayer. [Editorial Labor, S.A., Barcelona, c1934]
