Description
Caption from the institution's website

The Infanta Maria Antonia was the daughter of Philip V of Spain, and married Vittorio Amedeo III, later King Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia, in 1750. The friendship with the Hervey family (of Ickworth), evidently initiated by George William Hervey, 2nd Earl of Bristol (1721-1775) when Envoy in Turin, 1755-58, was continued by her eldest son, later to rule as Charles Emmanuel IV.

The portrait is painted in a ponderously careful manner and must be by a copyist. Duprà’s style, to judge by the painting belonging to the Duke of Hamilton, was smooth and highly finished. It seems likely that the original portrait of Victor Amadeus belongs to about the time of his marriage in 1750, when Duprà is known to be at the court at Turin.

This painting was almost certainly acquired by George William Hervey, 2nd Earl of Bristol (1721-1775) when envoy at Turin, 1755-58.
