La infanta María Luisa Teresa de Borbón luego duquesa de Sessa is a 1834 oil by Antonio María Esquivel, held at Museo del Prado.
This painting depicts a young girl in a white dress, holding a small bouquet of flowers. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she gazes directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The girl's dress features puffy sleeves and a square neckline, while her hands are clasped together in front of her waist. The background of the painting is dark and muted, with subtle hints of color that suggest a natural setting. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject.
