"Maria Carolina of Austria, Queen of Naples and Sicily" is an 18th-century oil painting by the German artist Anton Raphael Mengs. The portrait features Maria Carolina of Austria (1752–1814), who was a Queen consort of Naples and Sicily as the wife of King Ferdinand IV & III. As a member of the Habsburg dynasty, she was the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I, and the sister of the famous Marie Antoinette, Queen of France.

Mengs, a prominent painter of the Neoclassical style, was known for his influence on European art and his role as a bridge between the Baroque and Neoclassical periods. His works are characterized by their clarity, balance, and serenity, which were revolutionary in the context of the prevailing Rococo style of the time. The portrait of Maria Carolina is a testament to Mengs's skill in capturing the elegance and poise of his aristocratic subjects.

In the painting, Maria Carolina is depicted in regal attire, reflecting her status as a queen and her role in the politics and society of her time. The work is notable for its refined brushwork, attention to detail, and the dignified representation of the queen. Mengs's portrayal goes beyond mere physical likeness, aiming to capture the intellectual and cultural stature of the sitter.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context. Maria Carolina was a politically influential figure, known for her strong will, intelligence, and her involvement in the complex political landscape of 18th-century Europe. Her marriage to Ferdinand was both a dynastic and political alliance, and she played a key role in the governance of the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily, particularly during the tumultuous times of the Napoleonic Wars.

Today, the painting stands as a valuable historical document and a fine example of Mengs's portraiture. It is housed in a notable museum collection (the specific location should be added here if known), where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
