Maria is an 1836 oil painting by the English artist Charles Landseer. It is inspired by a passage in the 1768 novel A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy by the Anglo-Irish author Laurence Sterne. It depicts Maria, a mournful young woman left disconsolate by her husband's death. She is accompanied by a small dog.
The painting was displayed at the 1836 exhibition of the British Institution, held at Pall Mall. It was purchased by John Sheepshanks, a noted collector of contemporary British art, who in 1857 donated it to the new Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington as part of the Sheepshanks Gift.
