Until Goya produced 19 etchings after 17th-century Velázquez paintings in 1778, the original compositions were little known. Goya’s copies reproduced all the prints in the same direction as the originals. He advertised the availability of this print and the Baltasar Carlos in the Gazeta de Madrid on Tuesday, December 22, 1788: “Two new prints one of which represents the Prince Don Baltasar Carlos on horseback, and the other a false Bacchus crowning some drunkards; paintings by Don Diego Velázquez extant in His Majesty’s Royal Palace, drawn and graved in etching by Don Franciso Goya, Painter.”
