About the piece

This mid-17th-century portrait captures Mariana of Austria, Queen of Spain, in the formal style of the Spanish court. She is depicted with an extraordinarily wide coiffure adorned with ostrich feathers and a butterfly ornament, wearing an elaborate guardainfante dress in silver and black. The deep tonal palette and masterful handling of textiles reflect the prestigious tradition of the Baroque era.
