The Naked Maja (Spanish: La maja desnuda) is a philatelic name for three postage stamps of Spain of 1930 depicting the La maja desnuda painting (1800) by Francisco de Goya (1746–1828).[1] They are part of a set marking the anniversary of the death of this Spanish artist, and are sometimes incorrectly considered the world's first postage stamp with nudes.[2]
