'The Clothed Maja' is an oil painting on canvas by Francisco Goya, a renowned Spanish artist known for his work during the Romantic period. Created between 1800 and 1807, this portrait is a clothed counterpart of Goya’s earlier 'La maja desnuda'. The model's identity remains unclear, but art historians suggest she could be María Cayetana de Silva or Pepita Tudó, Godoy's mistress. In both versions, Goya’s skillful use of oil reflects the distinct softness and texture of the fabric, capturing the allure of the mysterious maja.
