Description : Ritratto dell' Infanta Maria Anna Victoria di Borbone

Oil on octagonal metal plate. This is a copy of the portrait of the Infanta Maria Anna Vittoria of Bourbon (1718-1781), painted by Nicolas de Largillière in 1724, currently preserved in the Prado Museum in Madrid. The original better highlights the very young age of the princess, first daughter of Philip V of Spain and Elisabeth Farnese, who was engaged to Louis XV in 1722, at the age of just four, and immediately sent to Paris; the young Infanta was nicknamed "l'infante Reine" (the child queen), but did not marry the French king, who in 1725 decided to send her home because she was too young. The child, who in this copy seems a little older, is depicted at the French court, probably in a room of the Louvre Palace where she stayed, in a sumptuous princely dress, with the royal crown resting on the rich console table to her right. The painting is presented in a contemporary gilded frame.
