Joseph Dorffmeister painted this portrait in 1797, depicting Princess Luisa Maria Amelia Teresa of Naples and Sicily, daughter of Ferdinand IV of Naples and Maria Carolina of Austria, who became Grand Duchess of Tuscany through her marriage to Archduke Ferdinand III. The work exemplifies late 18th-century Central European court portraiture, blending Neoclassical refinement with Habsburg dynastic symbolism. Its formal composition and regal iconography reflect contemporary political alliances within the Austrian Empire’s expanded territories.

The painting is held in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where it remains part of the institution’s permanent display of European portraiture from the Enlightenment era.
