Africa is a 1720 unspecified by Rosalba Carriera, a Rococo painting work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The painting depicts a woman with dark skin, wearing a white head wrap and a white pearl necklace. She is adorned with a red and gold earring on her left ear and a red and gold necklace around her neck. Her right hand is visible, holding an object that appears to be a snake or a lizard. The woman's facial expression is one of surprise or alarm, with her mouth open and her eyes wide. The background of the painting is a light blue-gray color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's dark skin and clothing. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Rosalba Carriera, an artist known for her portraits and use of pastel colors.
