Maja is a 1826 ink by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a long dress with a high neckline and a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a fan in one hand. The background is plain, focusing all attention on her. The artist used a mix of fine lines and smooth shading to create depth. This technique makes the fabric look textured and the shadows soft. Look up etching to see how artists like this create detailed prints.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
