About the piece

Painted in 1849 by Friedrich Dürck, this portrait depicts Princess Maria Amélia of Brazil with a delicate poise. The work is notable for its exquisite rendering of textures—from the shimmering double strand of pearls and drop earring to the intricate ruffles of her white lace gown and the soft volume of her fur mantle. Set against a deep, moody background, the subject’s luminous skin and calm expression embody the sophisticated academic style of the mid-19th century.
