A full-length portrait of Queen María Luis de Parma (1751-1819), wife of King Carlos IV (1748-1819), wearing a large feathered hat and French lace, with a seventeenth-century style bustle and the sort of large skirt flattened in front and back that replaced the farthingale. The only jewelry she wears is the Cruz Estrellada award. Her hand rests on a table covered with a tablecloth on which the royal crown sits.

This painting is paired with a portrait of Carlos IV (P3224). Despite being a full-length portrait, it follows the model of the official portrait of Queen María Luisa that was commissioned, along with that of King Carlos IV, in January of 1789. These works coincided with the king's coronation, following the death of Carlos III (1716-1788).
