Allegory of Painting (Vieira Portuense)

Allegory of Painting is an oil painting on canvas dated 1800 by the artist Portuguese from the time of neoclassicism Vieira Portuense (1765-1805), a work that belongs to the National Palace of Queluz

The Allegory of Painting, which has an oval shape, represents the portrait of a painter who is, in turn, painting the portrait of a man, who is presumed to be a self-portrait of the author himself, considering that it is one of Vieira's works in which the influence of the painter Angelika Kauffmann is verified.
