"Portrait of Princess Caraboo of Javasu" is a notable work by the English painter Thomas Barker of Bath, depicting the curious figure of Mary Baker, better known by her alias Princess Caraboo. The painting is a testament to one of the most intriguing hoaxes of the 19th century, where Baker, a cobbler's daughter from Devon, England, convinced a small town that she was a princess from a distant island.

The portrait, executed in the early 19th century, captures the exotic guise under which Baker presented herself to British society. Dressed in an elaborate costume that she claimed was typical of her status and origin, the figure of Princess Caraboo is presented with an air of regal mystery. Barker's work reflects the fascination of the period with the exotic and the unknown, as well as the gullibility of a society eager to believe in such an extraordinary tale.

Thomas Barker, a prominent artist of his time, was known for his landscape and genre scenes, but this portrait stands out in his oeuvre due to its unique subject matter. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a historical document that encapsulates the story of Mary Baker and the societal context of early 19th-century England.

The portrait's provenance and current location are essential details for art historians and enthusiasts, as is the painting's condition and any restoration work it may have undergone. As a visual record of one of the most successful impostures of the time, "Portrait of Princess Caraboo of Javasu" by Thomas Barker of Bath remains a fascinating piece for both art and social historians.
