About the piece
Painted in 1623 during Anthony van Dyck's influential stay in Italy, this portrait is a tour de force of Baroque elegance. The work highlights the artist's signature ability to render luxurious textures, particularly in the shimmering red silk of the lady's gown and the intricate lace of her collar. The tender gaze and physical connection between the mother and child lend a human warmth to this grand, formal composition typical of European aristocratic portraiture.
