The painting measures 105.1x84.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Goya masterfully captures the essence of young Pepito, who tragically passed away at a tender age. Dressed in an exquisite military uniform complete with a drum and rifle, Pepito exudes an air of innocence and curiosity that belies his role as a miniature soldier. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the vibrancy of his youthful features and highlights his cherubic face framed by dark curls. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this poignant portrayal. Pepito's lineage is revealed through additional information about his father being doctor to King Ferdinand VII, while his mother descends from esteemed medical professionals associated with the Alba family. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are transported back to early 19th-century Spain during the Napoleonic era. Goya's ability to capture not only physical likeness but also emotional resonance makes this painting a true masterpiece. With its rich symbolism encompassing childhood dreams, military aspirations, and familial heritage, "Jose Costa y Bonells (died 1870), Called Pepito" continues to captivate viewers worldwide as
