The Duchess of Alba.
Presumably, snipped from one of those risque magazines of the 1960's 1970's. In Australia, "Man" magazine, part of every sailor's locker. http://cjoint.com/data/ghpz126qlR.htm |

The most popularly cited subjects are the Duchess of Alba, with whom Goya is thought to have had an affair, and the mistress of Manuel de Godoy, who subsequently owned the paintings. Neither theory has been verified, and it remains as likely that the paintings represent an idealized composite." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Goya It is possible that two different models were employed by Goya for La maja desnuda and La maja vestida.
