Attributed to Francisco Bayeu (Zaragoza, 1734 - Madrid, 1795) - Presentation of the Infante Carlos Clemente, son of Carlos IV and Maria Luisa of Parma - Oil on canvas, Dimensions: 75 x 61 cm. Attributed to Francisco Bayeu, it represents the Presentation of the Infante Carlos Clemente before the court. This historic event took place during the reign of Carlos IV, and is notable for its solemnity and ostentation, typical of Spanish court painting.
