Spain · 1930 · 10 Pesetas

This stamp features the famous painting 'La Maja Desnuda' (The Naked Maja) by Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Issued as part of a set commemorating Goya, it is renowned for being one of the first stamps to depict a nude figure, which was controversial at the time. The design is a detailed engraving of the iconic artwork.

Issued in 1930 during the final years of King Alfonso XIII's reign, this set celebrated a master of Spanish art. The stamp's release was a bold cultural statement, pushing boundaries in philatelic design.
