No not a Five book, thanks for suggesting, I can see similarities but this was definitely a girl on her own
Do you think it was a UK book?How old is the girl in the story?
Thank you bothI think the girl was 10-early teen. I think it was a UK book but may have been set in either England or Spain or maybe even Ireland if Spanish treasure was involved. I hadn't come across the word Dauphinesse before reading it and it fascinated me - she wore a lacy flamenco-type outfit
I have now looked at Secret of the Hidden Painting and ruled it out
It's new to me, too! But it's a French title. Could the painted girl have been French?
I remember it as Spanish, but was quite young
I have googled that Rosa, the only one I can find is a Peter and Jane book that is nothing like it, do you have an author please for any other one of the same title?

It's available for limited review from the Internet Archive. You need to be a member to "take out" books, but membership is free; you only need to give them an e-mail address.
I'm pretty sure it's your book; there is a painting of a "Dauphiness" and a cave.
