Sessão do Conselho de Estado
Sessão do Conselho de Estado (Session of the State Council) is an artwork of the genre historical painting made by Georgina de Albuquerque in 1922. It portrays the session of of the State Council of Brazil, preceding Brazilian independence. The artwork is part of the collection on exhibition at the National Historical Museum of Brazil, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

The painting is notable for two reasons. It's a work of Brazilian academic art painted by a Brazilian woman at a time when the genre was dominated by men. It also depicts a gender perspective of Brazilian independence, insofar as it highlights the participation of the then princess Maria Leopoldina in the political process of colonial rupture in 1822.

Albuquerque won the prize of the Contemporary and Retrospective Art Exhibition for the Centenary of Independence, a competition held on the centenary of Brazilian independence. The goal of the competition was to select paintings that best depict historical events linked to Brazilian independence. The prize was the purchase of a painting by the federal government, which would then form part of the collection of the (National School of Fine Arts). The painting was donated by the school to the National Historical Museum.
