Portrait of prince maximilian of saxony, his wife princess maria carolina of parma and their three elder children: amalie (1794-1870), maria ferdinanda (1796-1865) and frederick (1797-1854) (the museum's website mistakenly identifies this painting as a portrait of ferdinando i, duke of parma (1751-1802) and his family)
identification proposed by user ecummenic (talk) based on the comparison with some portraits of maximilian of saxony and carolina of parma (see images below) and the lack of physical resemblance with representations of ferdinando of parma and his wife maria amalia of austria. Object Type: painting. Date: 1774 (dated by the museum), but based on the sitters' age, clothing and hairstyle it can be dated to late 1790s. Dimensions: height: 85 cm (33.4 in); width: 67 cm (26.3 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Galleria d'arte moderna. Fechhelm - Maximilian of Saxony and his family - Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Florence
