The infanta María Amalia of Bourbon as a Child, Holding a Book, 1791. Portrait of the twelve-year-old Infanta María Amalia (1779-1798) in a lace-trimmed dress. When she was just sixteen, Maria Amalia Luisa de Borbon y de Borbon-Parma, Infanta of Spain, was married to her uncle, Antonio Pascual de Borbón who was 24 years her senior. She died very young, at the age of 19, while giving birth to a baby who also died shortly afterward, so there were no children from this incestuous marriage.
