Original – A 1783 portrait of Maria I of Portugal. First known as Maria the Pious, then Maria the Mad, she was Queen of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves, though in the last years of her life the governance was handled by others, including her son John. Maria fled to Brazil during the Napoleonic wars, and remained there after Napoleon's defeat. This portrait dates to a few years before her mental disease was noticed.

Reason

Very good scan. Useful as the lead image in her article.

• Support – interesting portrait; the article could be better but provides more than sufficient EV. Looks like it could be a fun article to work on, if only there were more hours in the day. SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:48, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
