"The Clothed Maja" (Spanish: "La Maja Vestida") is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created between 1800 and 1803. This artwork is celebrated for its intriguing subject matter and its technical mastery, reflecting Goya's profound ability to capture the human form and the subtleties of fabric and texture. The painting is part of a pair, with its counterpart being "The Nude Maja" ("La Maja Desnuda"), which depicts the same woman in an identical pose but without clothing. Both paintings are housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

"The Clothed Maja" portrays a reclining woman, dressed in a white blouse, a yellow skirt, and a green sash, with a black lace mantilla draped over her shoulders. Her attire is both elaborate and sensuous, emphasizing her curves and the luxuriousness of the fabrics. The woman's direct gaze and relaxed posture suggest a sense of confidence and allure, which was quite provocative for the time. The background is simple and dark, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains focused on the figure.

Goya's technique in "The Clothed Maja" is notable for its use of light and shadow to create depth and realism. The delicate rendering of the fabrics and the subtle play of light on the woman's skin demonstrate Goya's skill and attention to detail. The painting also reflects the cultural and social context of late 18th and early 19th century Spain, where depictions of women in such a manner were rare and often controversial.

The identity of the woman in the painting has been the subject of much speculation. Some art historians suggest that she may be Pepita Tudó, the mistress of Manuel de Godoy, the Prime Minister of Spain at the time. Others believe she could be the Duchess of Alba, a known muse of Goya. However, there is no definitive evidence to confirm her identity.

"The Clothed Maja" remains a significant work in Goya's oeuvre, exemplifying his innovative approach to portraiture and his ability to convey complex human emotions through his art. It continues to captivate audiences and inspire discussions about art, beauty, and the role of women in society.
