La maja vestida was painted sometime between 1800 and 1805 by Spanish Romantic painter Francisco de Goya as part of a two-piece set with La maja desnuda, an earlier, near-identical painting made between 1797 and 1800 that featured the same woman naked. The earlier painting is known historically for being the first nude work to feature female pubic hair in a neutral context, having previously been portrayed in art as an icon of sexual degeneracy and uncleanliness, via which it served as a source of controversy among Spanish ecclesiastical authorities and a source of titillation and excitement for the general public (it is likely that Goya later painted La maja vestida in response to the controversy); from this, La maja desnuda is considered the vanguard of the European artistic horizon becoming increasingly lenient regarding taboo imagery. Today, La maja vestida and La maja desnuda are typically displayed side by side.

Museum exhibit description
"It is said that this painting is a more discreet version of an earlier work known as "The Nude Maja." It is also known that Francisco de Goya was quite popular in his own time. Could these facts be related? A third, unrelated fact-the word "maja" refers to a "stylish young lady of Madrid.""
