"Papirius Pratextatus Entreated by his Mother to Disclose the Secrets of the Deliberations of the Roman Senate" is a notable historical painting by Swiss neoclassical artist Angelica Kauffmann, created in the late 18th century. The artwork captures a legendary episode from Roman history, featuring the young Papirius Pratextatus, who, according to the tale, was entrusted with the privilege of attending a session of the Roman Senate due to his role as a patrician youth. The narrative unfolds as Papirius's mother, driven by curiosity, implores her son to reveal the confidential discussions held within the Senate chamber. Demonstrating wisdom beyond his years, Papirius cleverly evades the request, preserving the sanctity of the Senate's secrets and showcasing his loyalty to the state.

Kauffmann's painting is celebrated for its embodiment of neoclassical ideals, emphasizing virtues such as patriotism, discretion, and the moral strength of character. The composition is characterized by its classical clarity, harmonious color palette, and the serene dignity of its figures, which reflect the artist's deep engagement with the intellectual and aesthetic currents of her time. As one of the few prominent female artists of the neoclassical era, Kauffmann's work is often examined for its nuanced portrayal of gender roles and its reflection of the artist's own challenges in navigating the male-dominated art world.

The painting not only serves as an exemplar of Kauffmann's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and political values of the Enlightenment period, during which there was a resurgence of interest in the moral lessons drawn from classical antiquity. "Papirius Pratextatus Entreated by his Mother to Disclose the Secrets of the Deliberations of the Roman Senate" remains a significant contribution to the canon of 18th-century European art and continues to be studied for its historical relevance and aesthetic merit.
