Francisco de Goya

The Clothed Maja

US$ 513.00

A woman reclines on a divan in a short embroidered jacket and rose sash, meeting the viewer’s eye directly. The paint handling in the silk and the gauze is among the freest Goya ever managed, and the long horizontal shape is unusual and striking. The companion to the more notorious version, and the more wearable of the two.

Artist

Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) painted this and its unclothed companion for Manuel Godoy, the Spanish prime minister, who kept them in a private cabinet with a mechanism to swap one for the other. The Inquisition later seized both and summoned Goya to explain himself. He gave no useful answer and the identity of the sitter has never been settled.
