Equestrian Portrait of Maria Amalia of Saxony

Equestrian Portrait of Amalia of Saxony is a mid-18th century portrait of Maria Amalia of Saxony, produced by Francesco Liani towards the end of her and her husband's rule in Naples before he became Charles III of Spain.[1] It shows its subject in male hunting dress and is modelled on Louis Silvestre II's portrait of Maria's father Augustus III of Poland.[2] Liani also produced a pair of her husband - both works are now in Room 34 of the National Museum of Capodimonte in Naples.
