This is a portrait engraving, created by Johann Martin Bernigeroth between 1738-1759, of Maria Amalia, Queen of Naples and Sicily. It features a formal portrait of the queen, who is seated and dressed in an elaborate gown, holding a flower in her right hand, and wearing a pearl necklace. The background of the engraving depicts a classical setting with a column, flowers, and a distant landscape, which would have been typical of portraiture of this period. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. This engraving is a fine example of portraiture from the 18th century.
