"The Clothed Maja" (Spanish: "La maja vestida") is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created between 1800 and 1805. This masterpiece is part of a pair, the other being "The Nude Maja" ("La maja desnuda"), and both are celebrated for their intriguing subject matter and technical brilliance. The paintings are housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, and are considered some of Goya's most significant works.

"The Clothed Maja" depicts a reclining woman dressed in elaborate and fashionable attire of the time, which contrasts starkly with the nudity of her counterpart in "The Nude Maja." The identity of the woman remains a subject of speculation and debate among art historians. Some theories suggest she might be the Duchess of Alba, a known acquaintance of Goya, while others propose she could be Pepita Tudó, the mistress of Manuel de Godoy, the Prime Minister of Spain. However, no definitive evidence has confirmed these theories.

The painting is notable for its exquisite detail and the lifelike quality of the subject's attire and pose. Goya's use of light and shadow, along with his adept handling of texture, brings a sense of realism and immediacy to the work. The woman's direct gaze and relaxed posture add to the painting's enigmatic allure, inviting viewers to ponder her story and the context of her depiction.

"The Clothed Maja" and its companion piece were groundbreaking for their time, particularly due to the boldness of "The Nude Maja," which was one of the first life-size depictions of a nude woman in Western art that did not have a mythological or religious context. This boldness led to controversy and even an inquisition by the Spanish authorities, who deemed the nude version indecent.

Together, these paintings exemplify Goya's mastery and his ability to push the boundaries of artistic convention. They continue to captivate audiences and inspire scholarly discussion, cementing Goya's legacy as one of the most innovative and influential artists of his era.
