The painting immortalizes Anna Pamphilj, daughter of Camillo prince of Valmontone and Olimpia Aldobrandini Borghese, promised bride of Giovanni Andrea III Doria. As was customary at the time, the two spouses did not know each other personally and for this reason, before the marriage, celebrated by proxy in Rome on October 25, 1671 and celebrated in Genoa upon the arrival of the bride, the Pamphilj family sent the fiancé a portrait of Anna. The painting depicts the young woman in an elegant French fashion dress while holding a lily, a symbol of purity. The painting is attributed to Jacob Ferdinand Voet, a portraitist of late Baroque Rome.
