Very observant, it certainly does. In Spain, Artillery was called "The Queen Of The Field", which goes hand-in-hand with your observation. OTOH: Muskets are given the masculine genre, and are associated to less noise and damage than the former.
Similar to Real Life, Hmmm..? : ) This cannon is very decorated, reflecting its Bourbon ancestry. Napoleonic made guns were more practical and down-to-earth. An odd detail is that it has no upper handles/hooks, something typical of Spanish and French guns. Notice that there were separate rammers for ball and charge, and even a third, smaller one... ?
