New Spain School of the 18th century - Pair of alleged portraits of

Descriptio Oil on oval canvas. This pair of portraits, produced in the 18th-century New Spain School, depicts the presumed monarchs Charles III and Maria Amalia of Saxony in a setting that emphasises both the royal majesty and the refinement of their time. In the female portrait, Maria Amalia appears seated, with an elegant bearing, dressed in a wide green dress decorated with golden floral motifs that highlight the splendour and wealth associated with royalty. The crown, placed on a pedestal to her left, symbolises her position as sovereign, while the background features a cloudy sky that adds depth and a solemn air to the composition. The chromatic palette stands out for the harmony between the warm tones of gold and red that contrast with the predominant green, transmitting a sense of visual balance.
