Goya's Maja

animated GIF alternating between Francisco Goya's Maja nude (La maja desnuda) and his Maja clothed (La maja vestida) making it look like the quickest striptease ever


A comparison of Francisco Goya's Maja nude (La maja desnuda) and his Maja clothed (La maja vestida). I had thought that they were the same figure with clothes painted on one but they are not an exact match.

And although the canvases are the same size (38 x 75 inches) the nude figure is smaller (the clothed figure had to be scaled down to make the comparison)
