About the piece

This 1644 portrait by cousins Henri and Charles Beaubrun depicts Anne of Austria during her period of mourning. Dressed in somber black with a luminous white lace collar and adorned with large teardrop pearls, she holds an oval miniature—likely of her late husband, Louis XIII. The work is a masterclass in French Baroque portraiture, balancing a heavy visual presence with delicate, fine-line detailing in the jewelry and textiles.
