GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de: Majas on Balcony

🖼 Majas on Balcony, 1800-14
Oil on canvas
194.8 × 125.7 cm

Two elegantly dressed women lean from a shadowed balcony, their luminous figures contrasting sharply against dark architecture. Goya captures the voyeuristic tension of urban life, blending intimate observation with social commentary on feminine display and male desire.
