"Girl Holding a Monkey" is a pastel portrait by the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, one of the most prominent and successful female artists of the 18th century. Known for her delicate and refined approach to the pastel medium, Carriera's work was highly sought after by the European aristocracy during her lifetime. The portrait, which dates from the early 18th century, is a quintessential example of Carriera's skill in capturing the softness of skin tones and the subtlety of expression, which became hallmarks of her portraiture.

The artwork depicts a young girl, likely of the upper class, tenderly holding a small monkey. This subject matter reflects the exotic pets that were popular among the European elite at the time, symbolizing both wealth and an interest in the wider world. The monkey, often seen as a symbol of playfulness and mischief, contrasts with the innocence and youth of the girl, creating a dynamic and engaging composition.

The portrait is executed in Carriera's signature style, which is characterized by its luminosity and the use of light to model the forms. Her mastery of pastel allowed her to achieve a high degree of realism and emotional depth, which contributed to her international reputation. "Girl Holding a Monkey" not only showcases Carriera's technical prowess but also provides insight into the social and cultural milieu of the Rococo period.

The painting is an important piece in the oeuvre of Rosalba Carriera, representing the intersection of her artistic talent and the cultural trends of her time. It remains a significant work for the study of female artists in the early modern period and contributes to the understanding of the role of women in the arts. The current location of the portrait, its provenance, and its impact on the art world further contribute to its historical and artistic significance.
