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