See Maja and Celestina.
This piece was in the Keir collection of Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, who probably acquired it, together with another miniature, Seated Majo and Maja, for his collection of Spanish art. It remained in the Stirling family for several years until being put on sale at Sotheby's of London on 3 July 1963 (lot no. 64). It entered the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, on 16 September 1963.
For the artistic and technical analysis of the complete series, see Maja and Celestina.
In this image we see a young, almost naked, woman sitting on a rock. She is covered by a yellowish cloth which has fallen off her shoulder and covers up her lap. The girl appears weakened, as if she were about to faint there atop the grey stone. This fragility, and the more linear nature of this work, which is more carefully defined than some of the other miniatures in the series, gives this piece a heightened sense of delicacy.
