Spain Madrid Prado Museum Goya Paintings Lady With and WithoutClothes "The Maja"

Read Berger's essay "The Maja Dressed and The Maja Undressed." Was at the Prado years ago, and I remember some Goyas but not these. Anyway, according to Berger--all conjecture--Goya first painted the dressed Maja and then imagined her naked to paint the undressed Maja, i.e., she (and who she is may never be known) never posed nude.
