"Maria Luisa of Parma, Princess of Asturias" metallic bookmark

Metal. 3.4 x 6.6 cm.

With the delicacy and elegance characteristic of portraits from the Ancien Régime, Mengs paints Maria Luisa of Parma, Princess of Asturias (1766). She is dressed in court attire, wearing a lilac gown dotted with green leaves and white flowers and trimmed with lace. The landscape background, set in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Aranjuez with a section of the Tajo River waterfall, reveals the monarchs' preference for that Royal Site. This beautiful composition is captured in this pretty metal bookmark, which will help you continue reading from where you left off.
