This work depicts a woman reclining on a daybed, propped up by pillows. She wears a white bodice and trousers, accented by a pale pink sash and a yellow bolero jacket. Her direct gaze engages the viewer, while her posture suggests a relaxed, informal setting. The composition is horizontal, focusing on the figure against a dark, indistinct background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoya utilised loose brushwork to define the textures of the fabric, particularly the sheen of the white trousers and the delicate lace details. The lighting is focused on the subject, creating a contrast between the illuminated figure and the surrounding shadows. This painting is often discussed alongside its counterpart, The Nude Maja, which shares the same pose and subject. Both works were commissioned by Manuel de Godoy, a powerful figure in the Spanish court at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term 'maja' refers to a specific social class in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Spain, known for their distinctive style and assertive behaviour. By depicting a woman in this manner, Goya captured a sense of contemporary fashion and social identity. The painting reflects the artist's ability to balance realism with a certain theatricality in his portraiture. It remains a significant example of his work from this period, demonstrating his technical skill and his interest in the human form. The painting is currently held in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be studied for its composition and its place within the broader context of Spanish art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/self-portrait-ivan-aivazovsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-portrait - Ivan Aivazovsky — Ivan Aivazovsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/que-viene-el-coco-francisco-de-goya\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eQue viene el Coco - Francisco de Goya — Francisco de Goya\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francisco Goya","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849142145359,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849259848015,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849259880783,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849259913551,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849259946319,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Clothed-Maja_Poster_CompositorV1_1790075275425.jpg?v=1790075841","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/the-clothed-maja-francisco-goya","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
