João Baptista Verde e Mariana Benedita is a 1809 oil by Domingos Sequeira, a Neoclassicism work, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
This painting shows a man and a woman. The man is standing on the left side, wearing a black military uniform with white pants and a tall black hat with a red feather. He has his right arm outstretched and his left hand on his hip. The woman is sitting on the right side, wearing a white dress with a gold shawl. She has her right hand up to her face. In the background, there are trees and a person on a horse. The man's uniform and the woman's dress suggest a formal occasion. The painting's style and the clothing suggest it was made in the early 19th century. To learn more about the artist who created this painting, look up Domingos Sequeira.
