Lonely Planet review for Sacristía de los Cálices

South of the Capilla Mayor are rooms containing many of the cathedral's art treasures. The westernmost of these is the Sacristía de los Cálices, where Goya's 1817 painting of the Seville martyrs Santas Justa y Rufina (potter sisters who died at the hands of the Romans in AD 287) hangs above the altar. A lion licks Rufina's feet, as reputedly happened when she was thrown to the said beasts during her travails.
