The Chula series or Chula studies is a succession of paintings created by Filipino painter and revolutionary activist Juan Luna about the so-called "chulas" or working-class women of Madrid, Spain.[1] Luna is well known for illustrating "striking and commercially lucrative"[1] depictions of "women of the streets" of Madrid.[2][3] Exemplars of these are Luna's Una Chula I ("A Chula" No. 1) and Una Chula II ("A Chula" No. 2) paintings.[1]
