This scene reproduced by the author, Lunch in the Manzanares, was the first cardboard for tapestry delivered by Goya to the Royal Factory of Santa Bárbara, Madrid, on October 30, 1776 in the rural series, consisting of ten tapestries (all preserved at the Prado Museum).

The tapestry resulting from this cardboard hung in the dining room of the princes of Asturias (the future Carlos IV and his wife María Luisa de Parma) in the Palacio de El Pardo in Madrid. It was transferred between 1856-1857 to the Royal Palace of Madrid. Later she entered the Prado Museum, where she has been since 1870.
Pilar Bermejo Álvarez was a student at the Special School of Painting of Eugenio Oliva. He frequently participated in exhibitions, even achieving an Honorable Mention in the National Fine Arts of 1897. His contribution to the 1919 International was favorably appraised by critics: De Pilar Bermejo, some sober and well-drawn pictures, which demonstrate great handling of the palette (Fernando Segura. El Cantábrico, August 22, 1919)
She stands out as an exceptional copyist having exhibited alone, in the salons of the Athenaeum (April 1916), a collection of paintings that were copies of old works existing in the Prado and Modern Art Museums of Madrid, the piece analyzed being one of them. .
