"Portrait of the Electoral Princess Maria Amalia of Bavaria" is an 18th-century pastel artwork by the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, renowned for her mastery in the medium of pastel and her role in popularizing it as a serious art form. The portrait depicts Maria Amalia of Austria (1701–1756), who was the Electress of Bavaria by marriage to Charles Albert, Elector of Bavaria, and later Holy Roman Empress through her husband's brief reign as Charles VII.

Created during the Rococo period, a time characterized by its lightness, elegance, and an emphasis on portraying the leisurely pursuits of the aristocracy, Carriera's portrait is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the delicacy and grace of her subjects. The artwork is notable for its soft, luminous effects that are characteristic of Carriera's technique, as well as its detailed rendering of the textures of fabrics and the sitter's adornments, which reflect the opulence of the era.

Rosalba Carriera (1673–1757) was a pioneering female artist of her time and is considered one of the most successful women artists of any era. Her portraits were highly sought after by royalty and the European elite, and her influence extended beyond her own practice, contributing to the widespread acceptance of pastel as a respected medium in fine art. The portrait of Maria Amalia is a significant work within Carriera's oeuvre, exemplifying her ability to convey aristocratic poise and the refined aesthetics of the period.

The portrait is not only a representation of the individual sitter but also serves as a cultural artifact that reflects the political alliances and social hierarchies of 18th-century Europe. As with many of Carriera's portraits, this work likely served both as a personal memento and a tool of diplomatic exchange, embodying the connections between the courts of Vienna and Bavaria.

Today, the portrait is valued for its historical significance, its beauty, and its contribution to the understanding of female artistry in the Rococo period. It remains an important piece for art historians and enthusiasts who study the evolution of portraiture, the role of women in the arts, and the cultural dynamics of the European aristocracy.
