Focus on Majas on a Balcony and explain the abstract.
Majas on a Balcony (Spanish: Las majas en el balcón) is an oil painting by Francisco Goya,  completed between 1808 and 1814, while Spain was engaged in the state of conflict after the invasion of Napoleon's French forces. The painting in the collection of Edmond de Rothschild in Switzerland is thought to be the original. Another version  at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is thought to be a copy.  A further copy, attributed to Leonardo Alenza, is in the Pezzoli collection in Paris.
Goya considered his "maja" works, such as this painting and his contemporaneous Maja and Celestina on the Balcony, a distraction from more serious works, such as his Disasters of War.
