Rosa Carvalho (born 1952) is a Portuguese artist.
Rosa Carvalho was born in Lisbon in 1952. She studied fine arts at the University of Lisbon.

Artistic work
Carvalho is particularly known for painstakingly reproducing works by painters such as François Boucher, Francisco de Goya, Rembrandt, Jacques-Louis David and Diego Velasquez, in which she removes the, often naked, female figures present in the original paintings, thus highlighting the under-representation of women in art or their excessive presence in history as a muse and not a creator. Examples of paintings that she has treated in this way include Portrait of Madame Récamier by David and The Blonde Odalisque by Boucher.[1][2]
