The Boar Hunt
The Boar Hunt (Spanish - La caza del jabalí) is a 1775 painting by Francisco de Goya, now in El Escorial. The earliest surviving tapestry cartoon by the artist, it belongs to his first series of cartoons, intended for a series of tapestries on hunting themes for Charles, Prince of Asturias and Maria Luisa of Parma. Its authorship is confirmed by its dimensions in receipts for the tapestries from the Real Fábrica archives.
