About MePostcard depicting "Fraile geometra" by Goya, kept in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. It belonged to James McBey, who most likely picked it up on one of his trips to Spain early in his career.

The postcard is kept within a portfolio of articles and cuttings that belonged to James McBey, which he kept because they were of interest.

This object is part of an archive that belonged to Marguerite McBey. As a result of her generosity, Aberdeen Art Gallery holds the largest archive of James McBey's work, including prints, drawings, sketchbooks, oil paintings and memorabilia such as this postcard.
