Nymph.
<hr>
In 1987, as part of the legacy left by Maria Luisa Dilley Pina Moutinho, the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga received a <i>Portrait of a Lady</i> attributed to the French neoclassical painter Pierre Narcise, Baron Guerin (1774-1883), from the collection of her father, the journalist Augusto Pina (1872-1938), brother of the art critic Mariano Pina (1860-1899). Only in 2021 was the painting subjected to conservation work by the conservator-restorer Raúl Leite, from the José de Figueiredo Laboratory. This intervention revealed a signature, purposely hidden, which permitted the identification of the work as being by the French painter Louise Mauduit (1784-1862), leading to a reassessment of its theme as the representation of a «nymph».
