This stamp features the famous painting "La Maja Desnuda" (The Nude Maja) by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Issued as part of a set commemorating the artist, it is celebrated for its artistic merit and for being one of the first stamps to depict a nude figure. The design is a detailed engraving of Goya's masterpiece.

Issued in 1930 to raise funds for the restoration of the Quinta del Sordo, Goya's former home, this set was controversial upon release due to its depiction of nudity, leading to its prohibition in several countries, including the United States.
