1892 Queen María Cristina and King Alfonso XIII by Francesc Masriera i Manovens

It is located in the City Hall Saló de la Reina Regent (City Council hall), Barcelona Hispania European Union.

María Cristina is dressed to impress with a bodice drenched in lace and spectacular over- and under-skirts. The stellar pattern on the over-skirt is like the patterns on Worth dresses. Both her over-skirt and under-skirt end in trains.
