About the piece
Painted around 1680 by Simon Pietersz Verelst, this striking oil on canvas portrays Mary of Modena with regal poise. The work is celebrated for its exquisite rendering of textures—from the shimmering silk and lace of her gown to the delicate petals of the flowers and the luster of her pearls—capturing the opulence of the late 17th-century European court.
