"Carlota Joaquina, Infanta of Spain and Queen of Portugal" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Spanish artist Mariano Salvador Maella. The artwork is a portrait of Carlota Joaquina of Spain (1775–1830), who became Queen consort of Portugal as the wife of King John VI. Born as a Spanish infanta, the daughter of King Charles IV of Spain and Maria Luisa of Parma, Carlota Joaquina's marriage was arranged as part of a series of family alliances between the Spanish and Portuguese royal families.

Mariano Salvador Maella (1739–1819) was a prominent painter and engraver of the Spanish Enlightenment period. He served as a court painter to Charles IV and was a key figure in the artistic circles of Madrid. His works are characterized by their neoclassical style, which was prevalent in Europe at the time, and his portraits often captured the grandeur and formality of the Spanish court.

The painting of Carlota Joaquina is notable for its historical significance and its representation of the royal subject. The portrait likely served to emphasize the political importance of the Infanta as well as her royal dignity and poise. Maella's skillful use of light and shadow, detailed rendering of textiles and textures, and the careful depiction of the Infanta's regal bearing and attire all contribute to the painting's artistic value.

As a historical artifact, the painting provides insight into the iconography of Spanish and Portuguese royalty, the cultural exchange between the two Iberian kingdoms, and the role of portraiture in reinforcing dynastic ties and sovereignty. The portrait of Carlota Joaquina remains an important work for understanding the visual culture of the period and the political narratives constructed around royal figures.

The painting is held in a collection or museum that preserves Spanish or Portuguese art, contributing to the cultural heritage of both nations. It continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the late 18th-century European portraiture, the neoclassical movement, and the political dimensions of royal representation.
