Tapestry cartoon by Goya depicting a group of majos, seated on the banks of the Manzanares on the outskirts of Madrid, resting, eating, drinking and smoking while toasting the orange seller who has approached them with his merchandise. On the right, the hermitage of the Virgen del Puerto can be glimpsed, hidden by a group of trees. The tapestry resulting from this cartoon would hang in the dining room of the Princes of Asturias (Charles IV and Maria Luisa of Parma) in the Palacio del Pardo, being one of the ten tapestries that made up the series of “country scenes”
