About the piece
Painted around 1750 by Martin van Meytens, the court painter of the Habsburgs, this portrait captures Empress Maria Theresa in her role as Queen of Hungary. She is depicted with regal poise, draped in a rich floral mantle lined with ermine, while her right hand rests authoritatively upon the Hungarian crown.
