Self-Portrait in a Cocked Hat. Artist: Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) (Spanish, Fuendetodos 1746-1828 Bordeaux). Dimensions: 3 7/8 x 3 7/16 in. (9.8 x 8.8 cm). Date: ca. 1790.This vigorous portrait, stippled and lined in brown ink, is likely one of Goya's most faithful self-studies. The artist was probably middle-aged when he made the drawing, but his dashing appearance, complete with tricorne hat, belies his years. It shows Goya before a grave illness of 1793 that would compromise his vitality. Drawn with a blunt pen in distinct marks, the self-portrait was used to engrave the frontispiece for the third edition of Goya's suite of lithographs illustrating bull fights, La Tauromaquia (1876). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
