Italiano: Granduca Pietro Leopoldo e la sua famiglia "Ritratto della famiglia granducale. Secondo quanto pubblicato da Sandra Pinto (Curiosità di una Reggia, p. 124) su segnalazione di Amelia De Palma, il dipinto fu eseguito dal pittore sassone Berczy durante il suo soggiorno fiorentino tra il 1781 e il 1782. Secondo la tradizione dei ritratti "in conversazione" voluta da Maria Teresa per la sua famiglia, il Berczy ritrae qui la famiglia granducale al completo (se si eccettuano i figli nati dopo il 1780 e Alberto e Massimiliano morti in tenera età). Si riconoscono infatti: al cembalo la primogenita Maria Teresa (1767-1827) andata sposa ad Augusto di Sassonia il 18 ottobre 1787 con accanto Maria Anna (1770-1809), Carlo (1771-1847) e Alessandro Leopoldo (1772-1795).
