Anyone seen this? Poster looks like paper doll clothing with title: The dresses of Goya's paintings?

    I found this about a week ago & finally took it out of my car!! It looked like an ad for paper doll clothes (Can see in 2nd & 3rd photos; each outfit has little tabs that you would fold to hold it onto a paper doll), but the Spanish text at bottom reads: The dresses of Goya paintings, and GOYA across the background.
    Google image of poster didn't show anything - has anyone seen this before? (I took first photo in thrift store that was bright with lights but when I couldn't find anything doing a image search I bought it & took it home where I took the rest - they aren't as sharp as first one taken under store's lights, I'm sorry.)
    Were they clothes for paper dolls fashioned after the clothes in Goya's works?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated - it is different (and that's usually good!)
    Thank you

    Clothes in the paintings of De Goya. Looks like paper dolls to me ! Is the paper thin ?

    Do look like paper dolls but don't see La maja desnuda. (Ha! Ha!)

    They are paper dolls and the clothes go on the two figures in the middle of each line. My guess is it came in a boxed set with other artists available. You may not find any because they all got cut up!

    Looks like a poster to me. Might have come out of the Prado Museum store. Nothing else printed on it?

    I don't know it's behind plastic/plexiglass in a frame - worth taking out or maybe a advertising poster for the clothes/dolls?

    No - looks like foam board back in a frame
