About the piece
This 1730 oil painting depicts Maria Carolina de Bouillon in a grand, allegorical setting typical of the era. Draped in a brilliant blue shawl over a rich striped gown, she is portrayed with a gentle lamb, symbolizing innocence, while an attendant and parasol suggest her high social rank against a serene coastal backdrop.
