Abstract

This article compares the representations of d. João VI and d. Pedro I in state portraits, and their regency expectations, through an analysis of the sartorial items and the accessories into which they are depicted, between 1808 and 1831. We consider that the sartorial styles partially translate their understandings and plans about national politics and the role of the monarch or emperor.
