About the piece
This stately portrait by Juan Carreño de Miranda depicts Inés de Zúñiga, Countess of Monterrey, in an extraordinary 'guardainfante' gown typical of the Spanish Hapsburg court. Painted around 1660, the work captures the dramatic contrast between the shimmering white bodice, the vast black skirt, and the rich crimson drapery, epitomizing the Baroque sense of regal presence and formal elegance.
