Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes (March 30, 1746-April 16, 1828) was a Spanish painter. Goya’s “Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zúñiga” is a portrait of a wealthy three-year-old boy in a red suit. He is surrounded by his pets: three cats, a black-and-white magpie on a leash, and caged goldfinches. The cats are lurking behind the boy, ready to pounce on the magpie. The magpie is holding Goya’s calling card in its beak. This work was painted around 1788.
